Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford has slammed VAR.

Bamford has found the back of the net 14 times this season, but has had two goals chalked off for narrow offside calls.

Both of the goals were originally given before VAR stepped in and overturned the decision.

Bamford was asked to rank what was the most frustrating in football out of VAR, not celebrating against former teams or corner kicks not beating the first man.

He responded: "I celebrate against my old clubs anyway, for me that's nonsense I don't think you shouldn't celebrate.

"Most annoying is going to be VAR and I'd put the next two joint second. VAR is well clear."

When asked to give his opinions on VAR, he said: "It's dead, I think I've had two goals ruled out. One of them was because my elbow was offside and the other was because my hair on my knee was offside it was so close.

"It's mad, very frustrating. I haven't had it yet where I've scored and it's been given offside and then they check VAR and it gets given.

"I imagine that's annoying as well because you're celebrating then you're waiting and then I'm like do I celebrate again? It just kills the game a bit."
