'Is the VAR asleep?' - Wilder fumes at refereeing decisions after Sheffield United defeat at Aston Villa

Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder has hit out at VAR, questioning whether the video refereeing team was asleep during his side’s defeat to Aston Villa.

The Blades were beaten 1-0 on Monday evening, Ezri Konsa getting the only goal of the game in the second half after United defender John Egan was sent off early on.

Wilder was incensed at Villa Park last season when the goal-line technology failed to register the ball crossing the line, and he left frustrated once again.
