VAR produced one of its most controversial decisions so far as it ruled out Harry Kane’s last-gasp winner.
It took around 5 minutes for a decision to be made with the margins being just so tight.
Tottenham were eventually denied a massive three points leaving their Champions League knockout status in the balance.
During and after the match, Antonio Conte was absolutely livid by the decision and his reaction earned him a red card.

Later, Conte stormed out of his press conference after just one question clearly still seething about VAR’s decision.
The Italian refused to accept the call to cancel Kane’s winner and he believes the decision was not an honest one.
The win would have sent Spurs through to the next round, however, they must now get a result in Marseille.
A point will be enough to send them through but Tottenham will be keen to top the group.
