Spurs in FA Cup quarter-finals VAR farce
 

Tottenham Hotspur 6-1 Rochdale: :news: (February 28 2018)

Tottenham overcame Rochdale 6-1 to reach the FA Cup quarter-finals.
However video technology reduced the fifth-round replay at Wembley to a farce. :storm:

Spurs had two goals disallowed, were denied one penalty and awarded another all at the hands of the video assistant referee during a chaotic first half.

BT Sport pundit Robbie Savage led the latest round of criticism, branding the system "ridiculous, bizarre and shambolic" while Jermaine Jenas called it "comical at times".

The controversy totally overshadowed the efforts of Rochdale, who cancelled out Son Heung-min's goal - the one that was allowed to stand - through Stephen Humphrys.

Sky Bet League One's bottom club also hit the woodwork with the score at 1-1, but were ultimately undone by Fernando Llorente's second-half hat-trick and strikes from Son and Kyle Walker-Peters.
