"West Ham United" on Friday had to admit the advantage of "Sheffield United" in dramatic match with a score of 0:1. The hosts fell behind after the 53rd minute goal scored by Oliver McBurnie, but Robert Snodgrass equalized in added time. However, after VAR review, this goal was not counted as the young "West Ham" defender Declan Rice handled the ball during the attack. After the match, the 20-year-old Englishman said that he is extremely disappointed and mentioned that almost all "Premier" league players do not approve of using VAR. "We are very disappointed. The opponent just hit the ball at my hand. At that moment, I was sprinting at full speed and the ball just hit my hand. I understand that according to the new rules, it is considered as a handball, but I did not do it intentionally. VAR reviewed the episode and did not count the goal. This is a very painful blow to us. I'm not the only one dissatisfied. Most "Premier" league players do not agree with the use of VAR. This system makes too many ridiculous decisions. Sometimes VAR really makes the right decision, but fans start to celebrate no-goals already as if it were a goal. It should not be like that," said D. Rice after the match.
