Bournemouth 2-1 Burnley: Vincent Kompany likens VAR delays to 'going to the casino'

Burnley manager Vincent Kompany has likened the wait for video assistant referees to make tight decisions to "going to the casino".

Jay Rodriguez's late goal in Saturday's 2-1 defeat at fellow strugglers Bournemouth was initially ruled out for offside by Samuel Barrott, but VAR needed more than five minutes to confirm the original on-field call.

VAR screens showed the officials drawing different coloured lines and replaying the goal from various angles before finally reaching a verdict.

"It's sometimes like going to the casino and putting all your chips on black or red," Kompany told BBC Match of the Day.
