Chelsea legend Frank Lampard slams VAR after controversy against Tottenham, believing Harry Kane was offside
Frank Lampard firmly believes Harry Kane was offside in the build-up to his match-winning penalty against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup semi-final.The video assistant referee overruled an offside flag in the moments leading to Kanes spot-kick, which gave Tottenham a 1-0 victory in the first leg at Wembley.But rather than clearing things up, the technology has caused confusion in some quarters, with Blues boss Maurizio Sarriproviding an alternative angle which appeared to show Kane leaning into an offside position.And Chelsea legend Lampard was also left unimpressed, claiming the system has a long way to go before it becomes a viable option in the Premier League.4

Frank Lampard was not happy with the decision against his former club

It was offside! As I watched it on TV, I thought he was offside, he told talkSPORT.Even though the line seemed to say he was on, the angle was slightly off, and I felt that the lean was enough to be offside.Thats not so much a Chelsea bias, I joke a little bit, but of course it needs to be absolutely as good as it can be, and at the moment its not.

Lampard certainly wouldve benefited from the use of technology during his playing career, most notably when his equaliser against Germany at the 2010 World Cup was not given despite clearly crossing the line.And while the Derby boss remains an advocate for VARs introduction to English football, he warns against anything but a full-proof system.I still think it has to come in and Im still a fan of it, but with that decision, its a good sign for all of us here that if there are adjustments to be made then make sure we get it 100% right.Sky Sports4

Sarri takes another look at the penalty incident

The angle appears to show Kane in an offside position

If we dont, then we shouldnt be going to VAR and seeing what they say.For the referees sake, as much as anyone, because theyre culpable when they have a second look and still seemingly might have got it wrong.So theres a lot of work to be done.I do think once its right, and as good as it can be, there will be a lot more positives than negatives.4

Frank Lampard would have equalised against Germany if technology was used

Chelsea will consider themselves unfortunate to be trailing at the halfway stage of their two-legged semi-final.The Blues dominated for large spells at Wembley and Sarri was left feeling a sense of injustice over Kanes winner.From the image from our camera, Kane was offside, clearly offside, Sarri said. But its not important. I think its more important that the linesman stopped the run, he didnt follow the ball.So for the players on the pitch, its clearly offside. He had a big influence on our defenders.At the moment I think that English referees are not able to use the system.I do think once its right, and as good as it can be, there will be a lot more positives than negatives.
