Peter Crouch unhappy with VAR 'forensically' analysing referee decisions as he insists Brighton penalty would not have been given '10 years ago' with Joe Cole also unsure on the implementation of technology

Brighton snatched a late equaliser against Liverpool on Saturday thanks to another controversial VAR decision, which led to yet more calls for the way the technology is used to be changed.

The referee went to the monitor to check a previously unnoticed incident between Andy Robertson and Danny Welbeck, where the Liverpool man had caught Welbeck's boot as he tried to clear the ball.

Pascal Gross scored the resulting penalty, but many said the incident should not have been checked by VAR in the first place.

'I don't like it, I am not a fan of it at all,' said Peter Crouch on BT Sport after the game.
