Virgil van Dijk offered an honest VAR verdict in light of Liverpool's controversial defeat to Tottenham Hotspur
Virgil van Dijk has admitted he is losing faith with VAR and believes Joel Matip will be fine after his fatal own goal in nine-man Liverpool's defeat at Tottenham Hotspur.
Liverpool's encounter with the North London club wasn't short of controversy as the midfielder was sent off for serious foul play before Luis Diaz's goal was chalked off after allegedly straying offside. In the aftermath of the first defeat of the season for Jurgen Klopp's side, the PGMOL acknowledged the "significant human error".

"The VAR should be absolutely clear and obvious with everything they're deciding on. Liverpool, despite playing with nine men, were on course to earn an unlikely point after a valiant display against Postecoglou's side, but deep into stoppage time, Matip turned the ball into his own-goal to hand all three points to the hosts.
