Fuming Neil Lennon took aim at referees and VAR after Omonia Nicosia suffered a heavy Europa League group stage defeat to FC Sheriff.
The former Celtic and Hibs boss has kickstarted his career in Cyprus, leading Omonia to the Cypriot Cup last term which earned them qualification for the Europa League group stage, but the Irishman couldn't mastermind the perfect start to the campaign with a 3-0 defeat in the opener. The Moldovan outfit cruised to a win thanks to goals from Iyayi Atiemwen, Ibrahim Rasheed and Mouhamed Diop, with Atiemwen's strike from the penalty spot sparking Lennon's ire.
Adam Lang was adjudged to have handled the ball when a shot rebounded off the Hungarian defender, which was then flagged up by the video assistant. Referee Rade Obrenovic the confirmed the call which left Lennon reeling after the full-time whistle. Speaking after Europa League matchday one, Lennon said: 'It's a disappointing result. I think 3-0 is unfair on Omonia, but that's the harsh reality of football at this level.
