[인터풋볼] Reporter Oh Jong-heon = A British local media spoke about the situation in the video reading (VAR) situation where Son Heung-min’s score was cancelled.
Tottenham Hootspur lost 1-3 to Liverpool in the 20th round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2020-21 season held at the Tottenham Hootspur Stadium in London, England on the 29th at 5 am KST. As a result, Tottenham, who failed to win points, placed 6th with 33 points.
At the start of the game, Son Heung-min shook Liverpool’s goal. Son Heung-min, who received Kane’s exact pass in the third minute of the first half, scored as it was. However, the VAR proceeded and Son Heung-min was declared an offside foul. In the end, Tottenham gave the first goal to Firminu, who received a cross from Manet in the extra time in the first half.
At the start of the second half, Tottenham replaced Kane and Orie with Lamela and Winks. In the second minute of the second half, Liverpool’s Arnold widened the gap further. However, Tottenham immediately set the stage for a pursuit with Hoivier’s mid-range goal. However, in the 20th minute of the second half, he gave Manet an extra run and eventually knelt to Liverpool.
It was a disappointing defeat. If Tottenham had won Liverpool, he could have taken the ranks further. Tottenham, who had only one point difference between Liverpool and Liverpool before the match that day, collapsed in an important match and could not close the gap. Also, because Everton, seventh place, played one less game than Tottenham, the ranking could fall further.
In particular, it was fatal that Son Heung-min’s score, which came out at the beginning of the first half, was canceled due to an offside foul as a result of the VAR. When offside was declared, it was not when Kane stabbed the ball at Son Heung-min. Before that, Son Heung-min, who received a pass from Ndombele, was offside. Son Heung-min’s heel was in front of Arnold’s shoulder with a slight difference.
In response, British Gibme Sports said, “It was a great luck for Liverpool. Looking at this season, VAR generally didn’t work in their favor. But this time, it went according to Liverpool’s will and allowed the players to breathe a sigh of relief.”
However, the media said, “Even so, the VAR needs to be revised. Liverpool players didn’t protest after Son Heung-min scored. It wasn’t until a few minutes after the Tottenham players held their goal ceremony that they were declared offside due to a really subtle difference. It’s a really stupid situation,” he said.
