The Burnley coach does not understand why the goal was approved even after consulting the video assistant referee
Burnley were beating Luton Town, 1-0, in extra time, when they conceded a very controversial goal, which was discredited even after VAR analysis.
After the final whistle, Vincent Kompany did not believe the match referee’s decision, which he considered had cost his team two points: “My point of view is the same as the point of view of everyone who watched the match. The striker tries his luck, tackles the goalkeeper, looks at the referee and you think… of course not… VAR will correct the situation. The Luton players didn't even celebrate, it was all silent. Everyone was ready to continue the game and then he scored.
Burnley's Belgian coach admitted that it is not his habit to blame the refereeing team for the results, but unfortunately, this is what happened on Friday: “I always tell the players to be careful, and we cannot blame the referees, but today I do not know what to tell them. It's ridiculous. “This cannot decide the match. It is something magical, yes, but not this.”
Rob Edwards' side only achieved par in extra time and in a questionable move
“Let's get up and keep going. It is not my nature to complain about this, I do not like this side of me, it is strange,” concluded the former Manchester City player, who prefers to focus on the next match.
