Rueful Fulham boss Scott Parker slams VAR for trying to create 'perfect' football and believes it will 'ultimately DESTROY the game'... after handball decision which denied his side an equaliser against Tottenham

Fulham manager Scott Parker believes VAR and trying to create the ‘perfect’ football game are ultimately going to destroy the sport.

The International Football Association Board (IFAB), the game’s lawmaking body, on Friday announced that an accidental handball leading to a team-mate scoring a goal or having a goalscoring opportunity will no longer be an offence from July 1.

It comes less than 24 hours after Fulham found themselves on the wrong end of that controversial section of the law when they were denied a second-half equaliser against Tottenham due to a handball ruling.
