Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder blew a fuse over VAR after their 1-1 draw with Tottenham yesterday.

Wilder called for a major review of VAR after Jon Moss failed to follow the Premier League's OWN guidelines to deny Sheffield United a famous victory.

After video ref Moss controversially ruled out a Blades goal at Tottenham following FOUR MINUTES of analysis.

Wilder said: I'm 100 per cent sick of talking about VAR.

We went to a Premier League meeting on Thursday to discuss VAR and they told us that any offside had to be clear and obvious.

Well, this wasn't clear and obvious because there seems to be confusion about whether the Tottenham player's armpit was ahead of John Lundstram's big toe.

There's no doubt that VAR is here to stay but certain aspects it are spoiling the game and we need to have a big look at it in the summer.

I've been in the game since I was 16 and some of the decisions this season have left me scratching my head.

There was for us also confusion as to when is the reset. Lundstram has crossed from the right, the ball has come back out, we've attacked down the left side and then they rule offside from the first cross.

What really disappoints me is the talking point should be how my team went toe- to-toe with the Champions League finalists in their own backyard but all we're speaking about is VAR."
