Danny Makkelie provoked fury when he ruled out what appeared to be a winning goal for Tottenham deep into injury time in their Champions League clash with Sporting Lisbon after consulting with VAR.
Harry Kane thought he had secured Spurs' passage into the knockout stages with a swept finish from Emerson Royal's knockdown. But after a three-minute VAR check, Makkelie awarded a free-kick to Sporting Lisbon after Kane was found to have been in an offside position.
The Dutch referee's decision sparked outrage in London, with Spurs boss Antonio Conte sent off and players surrounding him at the final whistle. One of the players who confronted Makkelie was Eric Dier who claimed "the ball went backwards".
