London's "Tottenham" suffered a painful defeat in the Premier League on Thursday, losing 1-3 to Sheffield United. The VAR system was once again in the spotlight in this match, as in the 33rd minute it disallowed an equalizing "penalty" goal for handball. After the match, Tottenham coach Jose Mourinho criticized the VAR system. "Decisions should be made by the referee on the field. We are going down a path that harms this beautiful game," said the Portuguese coach after the loss. However, Mourinho admitted that even after such a painful decision, his team should have played better. "We should have performed better. We need to be psychologically stronger when facing such situations. We cannot collapse after such decisions by referees," added Mourinho.
