Jan Vertonghen says VAR "takes a lot out of football" and has made it "a different game" after Tottenham were denied a second goal in Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Leicester.
With Spurs leading 1-0 through Harry Kane's extraordinary finish, Serge Aurier's 67th-minute strike was ruled by the VAR for a fractional offside against Heung-min Son.
Replays suggested there was a matter of millimetres between the South Korean and the last defender, and Spurs paid a heavy price for the decision as Ricardo Pereira equalised two minutes later, before James Maddison struck a late winner for the hosts.
Vertonghen followed manager Mauricio Pochettino's lead in refusing to blame the technology for more dropped points but said: "Obviously you have to trust the VAR to make the right decision.
"It went our way in the first half [when Leicester had a Wilfred Ndidi goal ruled out for offside], their way in the second. It makes football a different game, it takes a lot out of it. It's for the good but it has changed a lot."

I think you know how it feels when VAR protect you and when it's not... Man City felt much sad than the way you do, when VAR was on your side in UEFA

when we don't have optional to judge some football issue we create something to solve problem.but at the same time we lose how sweet football is it.
that's why i don't like the var of a thing, football has lost those controversy that makes it sweet
