The Tottenham manager was left fuming after Pape Sarr’s 69th-minute equaliser against Chelsea was chalked off.

LONDON: Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou bemoaned the time-consuming VAR process that saw Pape Sarr’s goal chopped off in their 1-0 defeat at Chelsea today and said football was heading towards being refereed by artificial intelligence.

Referee Craig Pawson was advised by VAR to check Sarr’s 69th-minute equaliser on the monitor and eventually chalked off the goal for a foul by the Spurs player in the build-up.

“It’s going to be refereed by AI soon,” Postecoglou told reporters after today’s Premier League match.
