Gary Lineker reacts after Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane’s goal against Sheffield United was controversially ruled out by VAR

Tottenham Hotspur’s chances of playing in the Champions League next season were dealt a huge blow following a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Sheffield United at Bramall Lane last night.

The game was marred by another huge VAR controversy as Spurs’ equalizer a minute after Sander Berge opened the scoring for the Blades was ruled out because of a handball by Lucas Moura in the build-up.

The Argentine was down when his arm struck the ball as a Sheffield defender attempted a clearance that eventually deflected into Harry Kane’s path.

The England international buried his effort beyond Dean Henderson, but VAR Michael Oliver cancelled the goal after a lengthy check.
