Manchester City sentenced to controversial sentence against Tottenham with kind permission of VAR

Jermaine Jenas criticized the use of VAR to punish Tottenham defender Danny Rose's handball after just 11 minutes in the Champions League quarter-final against Manchester City.

While Raheem Sterling fired a shot from the edge of the box, left-back Rose dipped with the arm raised and the ball hitting him, blocking the pbad from the ball to the goal.

The referee Bjorn Kuipers did not inflict the penalty until the VAR informed him that his decision should be reconsidered and he granted the free-kick after consulting the monitor at the side of the field.

Jenas said: "It's a huge moment, that's really the case. I think the fact that he is going to look at it himself is worrisome.

& # 39; If you were at PSG, would you say it differs from what Kimpembe did?

"Really disturbing signs for the game, in my opinion, really worrying signs. I know the rules are what they are. I have the impression that it is a step in the wrong direction as far as I am concerned. & # 39;

Referee Bjorn Kuipers also decided to show Rose a yellow card for the handball offense

After checking the monitor, Kuipers then chose to show a yellow card to the English backer Rose for the offense.

Once confirmed, Sergio Aguero took the advantage, but saw his efforts saved by the Spurs blocker, Hugo Lloris.

UEFA has chosen to clarify the handball law following a controversial decision in the last clash of Manchester City against Schalke, who is now referring to the use of the unarmed side of the natural silhouette.

Ferdinand, former Tottenham striker, said: "I understand the rules suggest that VAR should come into play. When you make this decision, anyone who knows football knows that it's not a penalty. He went to the ground to do the tackle.

"Where do you want his arms to be? If you put your arms at your side in this situation, both arms, you will break your neck as a defender. You need your hands as balance.

Former City defenseman Joleon Lescott added, "There is no alternative. If he puts his arms at his side, he does not have the balance and has to adjust his technique of gliding. We therefore ask defenders to learn all new defense techniques. & # 39;
