Monday Night Football analysts Jamie Carragher and Thomas Frank claim that Burnley’s disallowed winner at Nottingham Forest was an ‘extremely harsh’ decision by VAR.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent Kompany’s side were held to a 1-1 draw with Forest after Lyle Foster’s late strike was ruled out by the video assistant referee for a handball in the build-up.<\/p>\n
Replays showed the ball glancing the arm of Burnley’s Sander Berge just moments before he squared it for Foster to tap in.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the analysis that followed on Sky Sports, both Carragher and Frank insisted that the goal should have stood and that Burnley should feel ‘hard done by’.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘When looking at the frame-by-frame we can see he touches the ball a tiny bit, but I think it’s very harsh,’ said Brentford boss Frank.<\/p>\n

‘What about the clear and obvious where they said they’d intervene? What if that was a defender? Would it be a penalty? They need to use common sense. They don’t use common sense.’<\/p>\n
‘I’m with Thomas,’ Carragher added. ‘I think it’s extremely harsh. I think that should be a goal.<\/p>\n
‘I think initially he is running, so his arms are in front and he’s trying to get there, then he sees the defender come across him.<\/p>\n
‘The arm is maybe slightly different from his running action, but then also the defender is coming across, so that left arm would normally come up anyway.<\/p>\n
‘It’s the slightest of touches but to say he deliberately handballed it\u2026 It didn’t change direction. I think they can feel a little bit aggrieved.’<\/p>\n
Elsewhere in the match, Callum Hudson-Odoi scored his first goal for the club after curling in a stunning effort to cancel out Zeki Amdouni’s earlier strike.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The result saw Burnley claim their first point of the Premier League season, having fallen to defeat in their matches prior to tonight.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
