'He had a nightmare earlier and is not doing much better here': Jamie Redknapp hits out at call to use David Coote - the SAME VAR who decided against red card for Spurs' Giovani Lo Celso for stamp vs Chelsea - for Manchester City's trip to Leicester

Jamie Redknapp has hit out at the decision to use David Coote as the Video Assistant Referee for the second time in a day, after he appeared to call another decision incorrectly.

Tottenham's Giovani Lo Celso was not sent off after his stamp on Cesar Azpilicueta's leg during Chelsea's 2-1 win on Saturday lunchtime, for which Coote was also in the booth at Stockley Park.

VAR has since admitted it made a mistake for not giving the Spurs midfielder his marching orders, despite reviewing the incident for some time from multiple angles.

But Coote then failed to overturn a handball claim in the late game against Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne from James Maddison's free-kick.
