Alex Moreno's opening goal was disallowed after a four-minute VAR check Leon Bailey was ruled offside in the build-up to the left-back's stunning strikeWould Tottenham be clear at the top of the league if they hadn't lost some of their best players to injury? It's All Kicking Off
I took almost four minutes to rule out Alex Moreno’s goal as offside because it’s a difficult one to call, so I understand the delay, but all the officials had to do was look at the foul by Clement Lenglet on Arnaut Danjuma in the box and then the offside is irrelevant and you crack on with the game.
There’s an easy solution there, so we have to use common sense. VAR and referees are complicating things when they don’t need to.
We saw in the Newcastle game against Manchester City on Saturday that Ederson got injured because the linesman didn’t put up his flag for a clear offside and that is a huge concern because we are not using common sense for clear and easy decisions.

And with such long delays, the risk of injury increases as players cool down in these conditions and it changes the course of the game.
A delay of three minutes and 45 seconds is completely unnecessary. We need to go back to basics, apply common sense and give the decisions that everybody expects. Especially when the solution is clear to see.
