Tottenham striker, captain Harry Kane thought he had won the game for the home side when he swept home Emerson Royal’s knockdown in the last minute of injury time.

However, following a thorough investigation of the events leading up to the goal, VAR determined that the England captain had scored from an offside position, and the goal was disallowed.
Speaking after the match, a dejected Conte told BT Sport, “I think the ball was in front of Kane and the goal is a goal. Yeah. I don’t understand the line they put. It is very difficult to comment on this decision.
“VAR is doing a lot of damage. I want to see if in another stadium of a big team if they are ready to disallow this type of goal. I’d like to know this. A lot of injustice. I don’t like this type of situation. I see no positive things.”
