Frank Lampard gave a brutal assessment of VAR after Everton were denied a penalty in their 1-0 defeat to Man City at Goodison Park.
Shortly after Phil Foden had given the visitors the lead deep into the second half, the ball seemed to strike Rodri on the arm inside the visiting penalty area.
Strong shouts by Blues players and fans were waved away by on-field official Paul Tierney, before the decision was reviewed by VAR.
However Chris Kavanagh at Stockley Park, having reviewed the call, decided that there wasn't enough clear evidence to overturn and give Everton a penalty.
In his post-match press conference, Lampard launched a stunning attack on the decision - saying that he had no idea how his side have been denied a spot-kick.

PLAYER RATINGS: Jordan Pickford great and three others good vs Man City
He remarked: "The decision is incredible. It's an incredible decision. It loses us the opportunity to get what we deserved.
"That's VAR's call, it's Chris Kavanagh. It's completely on Chris.
"I've spoken to the officials on the day and they know it's a penalty. So my question is whether it was offside in the build-up, it wasn't.
"So it's Chris Kavanagh. The referee couldn't see it on the pitch, he was on the other side. That's fine and one of the reasons we've got VAR, to have those secondary eyes.
"It wouldn't even need more than five seconds to see that was a penalty. Everybody saw it.
"He either should have told the referee to give it, or go and look to be clear. I can't understand why he didn't.
- Rate the Everton players yourself
"We've lost a point potentially while we're fighting for our life by a professional who can't do his job right. And that's amazing.
"I'll wait until the statement or the apology or whatever they do when they give a statement about things that were wrong, but it will mean nothing.
"It's incompetence to get it wrong. Anyone who understands football at any level...Pep Guardiola will know, Man City fans will know, Everton fans will certainly know - that it was the most clear handball you can give.
"All the criteria - arm's out, below the sleeve - great from our point of view. I'm waiting for him to run to the screen and give it.
"It's incompetence at best. At worst, who knows."
