Premier League officials face criticism for a lengthy offside check, a potential penalty that wasn't checked, and a penalty that was given despite minimal contact. Burnley manager Vincent Kompany and Wolves boss Gary O'Neil express their frustration with the officials' decisions. Burnley also believes they should have been awarded a penalty for a handball, which was not checked by VAR. The controversy continues to surround the use of VAR in the Premier League.
An offside check lasting more than five minutes, a potential penalty that allegedly wasn't checked and another that was given described as 'scandalous'. Premier League officials are back under the spotlight after another day of controversy. Burnley manager Vincent Kompany says the officials cost his team points again after defeat at Bournemouth while Wolves boss Gary O'Neil heavily criticised the penalty award against his side in their thrilling draw with Newcastle.
'It looks like they are rowing in the VAR room.' While this went on supporters of both teams chanted 'This is embarrassing'. Finally, two minutes and 23 seconds after the green line appeared on the screen, a red line was drawn. The officials stuck with this decision and upheld the offside. The entire process took five minutes and 27 seconds. This, just like the error in the game between Liverpool and Spurs, will increase calls for semi-automated offsides.
