Gary Lineker Slams VAR Chaos in Premier League Drama: Late Goals Denied Spark Outrage!”

The iconic former England striker and Match of the Day host, Gary Lineker, didn’t mince words as he unleashed his frustration over yet another controversial Saturday in the Premier League, courtesy of VAR decisions. Lineker took to Twitter to express his dismay just hours before gracing the BBC screens, venting about incidents that saw Wolves and Newcastle United both fall victim to late goal disallowances due to VAR interventions. Lineker’s tweet, “Another stinker of a day for VAR,” triggered a wave of fan outrage on social media.

At Craven Cottage, despite Newcastle eventually securing a last-minute victory against Fulham, their initial goal celebration was abruptly halted. Fabian Schar’s goal was chalked off by VAR for an alleged foul by his teammate Dan Burn, momentarily saving Fulham’s blushes. However, Bruno Guimaraes emerged as the hero, scoring in the 81st minute to send Newcastle fans into raptures.

Meanwhile, Wolves suffered heartbreak as their potential equalizer against West Ham was controversially ruled out. Despite initially leading the game, Wolves saw victory slip away as West Ham staged a comeback with two second-half goals.

The contentious VAR decisions left fans and teams alike outraged. Wolves’ disallowed goal, in particular, sparked fury among Gary O’Neil’s squad, resulting in some players receiving yellow cards post-match. Newcastle boss Eddie Howe also expressed his frustration with VAR, believing that Schar’s disallowed goal was perfectly legitimate.
