Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino believes video assistant refereeing (VAR) will drain the emotion from football after his side's 6-1 win over Rochdale in the FA Cup on Wednesday was impacted by the system.
There were times when the contest between the two sides was chaotic, as a decision to award a free-kick to Spurs was then deemed a penalty and Heung-min Son's subsequent effort from the spot was ruled out for an illegal stop in his run up. Erik Lamela also had a goal disallowed.
Despite his side's win, afterwards Pochettino expressed his frustration with the VAR setup.
