(Tottenham 1-1 Newcastle) VAR returned to focus as Tottenham lost two points in extra time. José Mourinho was silent about the situation that cost his team victory.
Seven minutes after extra time, Callum Wilson secured points for the visiting team from the penalty spot.
The VAR first checked whether Andy Carroll was offside on the free kick beforehand, but the photos concluded that the forward was on the right side.
The video judges then reviewed the hands on the field. Carroll headed the ball into Eric Dier’s hand from close up, and after looking at the screens on the side of the court, the referee finally pointed to the penalty spot.
– I am sincerely concerned about the game we all love. It’s about whether it’s hands or not, Brede Hangeland said resignedly in the TV 2 studio shortly after.
– Ridiculous, is the verdict of Tottenham legend Gary Lineker, who along with several others expressed frustration over the controversial manual rule.
José Mourinho entered the locker room before the game ended, clearly cursed by the situation that plagued his team for victory. His assistant, João Sacramento, received a red card for stopping over the ball and blocking a quick free kick from an opponent in the 80th minute.
– I have more experience than them and I left before the game ended, said Mourinho when asked about the situation.
The Portuguese did not want to say anything about the criminal situation.
– I prefer to give my money to charities, and not to the association with a fine. I prefer not to comment, replied Mourinho.

Dear FIFA. Do something. Please.
Tottenham went into halftime with an advantage. For the first time in 22 games, Lucas Moura found his way to the net, brilliantly assisted by Harry Kane. The England forward found himself free and hit a precise post to the Brazilian in the back post.
Also in the previous game, Kane had the role of facilitator, this time with Son as a grateful partner, and the forward already has five assists on goal this season.
In the previous match, Heung-Min Son scored four goals, and the South Korean should have been on the scorers list on Sunday as well. The attacker hit the metal twice during the first 45 minutes, but went goalless from the field after being replaced during the break.
Tottenham was also in good control during the second half, and Newcastle never came close to threatening the home team, until seven minutes after overtime.
