Arsenal legend Thierry Henry admits he's no fan of VAR.

Henry says the technology is "killing" the game.

"What bothers me about VAR is just that it's not fast enough. In football we are always late and we have a lot to learn. In American football, rugby, cricket or tennis, decisions are instantaneous," he claimed.

"With VAR you don't even know if you can jump for joy when you score. Jump? Do I celebrate? Don't I celebrate?

"It kills the joy of the game."
