Jay Rodriguez’s disallowed goal against Bournemouth came after the longest VAR check in history as it took officials five minutes to decide his fate.<\/p>\n
The Burnley forward thought he had levelled when he got on the end of Nathan Redmond’s pass and fired home 88 minutes in.<\/p>\n
He was initially flagged offside before VAR said he was onside, only for the final check to conclude that he was offside all along.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It meant the Clarets were denied a late equalising goal as they fell to a 2-1 defeat at the Vitality Stadium.<\/p>\n
This latest VAR storm also means Rodriguez is still searching for his first Premier League goal since April 2022.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Jay Rodriguez was devastated to see that his goal had been ruled out by VAR after five minutes<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
VAR initially said that the Burnley forward’s ruled out goal was onside, leading him to think he had levelled<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
However, checks dragged on, the the onside call was revised to offside to deny him again<\/p>\n
The previous longest VAR check was three minutes and 45 seconds, when David McGoldrick had a goal disallowed for Sheffield United against Tottenham in November 2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Burnley have now lost eight of their first ten games back in the Premier League and sit 19th in the table.<\/p>\n
Three points are critical for Bournemouth, as Andoni Iraola’s first league win in charge of the Cherries helps them out of the relegation zone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Burnley took a first-half lead through Charlie Taylor before Antoine Semenyo got the hosts back on level terms.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Philip Billing scored a 35-yard stunner after 76 minutes to help the Cherries to victory.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
This latest VAR controversy will only fuel the simmering discontent that fans feel towards the technology and the way it used applied by officials.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If a player can be ruled both onside and offside within a couple of minutes, then it begs the question as to whether on-field decisions are clear and obvious errors in the first place.\u00a0<\/p>\n
