Antonio Conte on Tottenhamโ€™s disallowed goal v Sporting: โ€œA lot of injusticeโ€

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte has stated that โ€˜injusticeโ€™ has been done against Spurs following the sideโ€™s disallowed goal v Sporting.

The Lilywhites had won the game and had won qualification to the next round of the Champions League as Harry Kane had scored in the 95th minute. But after a VAR check that lasted four minutes, the goal was disallowed since Kane was said to be offside when Emerson Royal passed to him despite the ball coming off a Sporting defender.

After the game, Conte spoke to BTSport and he gave his views about the decision: โ€œThe ball was in front of Kane and it is a goal. I donโ€™t understand the line that VAR put. It is very difficult to comment on these decisions but I think VAR is damaging [the game].

โ€œA lot of injustice [has been done] because I repeat, I donโ€™t like these kinds of situations because there are not positive things.โ€

Conte was sent off after the goal was disallowed, meaning that he will not be on the bench for Spursโ€™ game against Marseille.

On the sending off, the Italian said: โ€œAll the people came inside the pitch after the decision and then they came to give me the red card because maybe, I was the most popular person on the pitch.โ€
