Lyon president Aulas in VAR rant as he denounces 'monstrous errors'

Less than a week after their defeat to Paris Saint-Germain, Lyon dropped points against Lorient and the man in charge says referees are to blame

Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas went on a tirade about the "monstrous errors" from referees and VAR that he says have cost his side five points in the last week, after they were held to a 1-1 draw by Lorient at home on Saturday.

Left-back Emerson was sent off just 15 minutes into the match and Armand Lauriente scored for Lorient from the subsequent free-kick.

This comes just six days after Lyon were denied a point at Paris Saint-Germain, in part because of a contentious penalty awarded to Neymar in the second half which Aulas labelled "an aberration".
