Virgil van Dijk had to face an English referee once again at the European Championship in England after the season.

The match between the Netherlands and France ended in a 0:0 draw, with Anthony Taylor blowing the whistle, who is rated differently. A controversial episode took place during the second half.

A. Taylor consulted with the people in the VAR room and disallowed the Netherlands' goal due to Denzel Dumfries interfering in the play. According to the referee, the defender obstructed the visibility of France's goalkeeper Mike Maignan.

Netherlands national team captain V. van Dijk was very upset. He said: "We scored a completely normal goal against France.

But yes, for some reason, the English referee decided not to count the goal."

R. Koeman also did not spare criticism for the referees .
