Kompany 'still trying to wrap my head around' VAR handball decision in Burnley loss at Bournemouth

Burnley honcho Vincent Kompany has been vacated fuming by the willpower not to weigh a handball in the last minutes of his side’s loss at Bournemouth.

The Reds languished an eighth defeat of the campaign after objectives by Antoine Semenyo and Philip Billing discontinued out Charlie Taylor’s sweet blow in the 11th minute.

A debatable moment surfaced after 89 minutes once Jay Rodriguez discharged proper into the base recess and – although it was without blockage contemplated out for offside – video clip assistant referee David Coote at Stockley Park took six minutes to weigh the pervasiveness.

Initially a green blather upwards was tempted to signal it was onside before a brand-newfangled blather upwards was tempted, which showed red and it was eventually contemplated out, yet Kompany was vacated perplexed that a supposed handball by Chris Mepham was not surveyed in the eighth minute of encompassed time.

Mepham and Burnley replacement Sander Berge knotted from a Taylor cross which resulted in Bournemouth goalkeeper Andrei Radu making a close-wide scope preserve that appeared to be from Berge’s head, yet Kompany said it was literally wearing Mepham’s hand.

“It’s interfering at this moment in time, I will not have anything unlike other than downer,” Kompany said.

“I want to address the first point for me currently which is the last point that designed in the arcade. The handball crisis in the box.

“Arcades avail dabbled on a blade side yet I am attempting still to wrap my head roughly what designed in that moment of time.

“We snatch 5 to 7 minutes to weigh the offside or not offside. The blather upwards goes green which needs ambition, the blather upwards goes red which needs it is not a ambition.

“OK, I am a person that habitually believes in the fact they have pocketed their time since they want to lug out the proper willpower. And a willpower avails passed on against us.

“Difficult one to snatch yet after that once the crisis takes void in the last moment of the arcade and we donned’t snatch time to weigh the handball?

“There is no call to the referee to postpone tinker once the gamers have labelled for it and the subordinate on the bench, we can go to wearing a wide angle that there was a handball.

“It is the hand that brings the sphere down. And there is no investigate, no postpone for the restart and the sphere goes and we lose the arcade. I am attempting to realise what is occurring in that moment.”

Kompany divulged he did talk wearing referee Sam Barrott after the match.

He encompassed: “Yeah, I think for the first time in my career given that I have been a boss I have literally politely and calmly visited ask for a word of explanation from the officials.

“They were awfully open wearing me and they appeared stagger by the fact we would possibly have wanted this (handball) to go to VAR, so it needs no one from VAR has told them it was worth weighing. As shortly as you kind at it, it is as blatant as it can be.

“I’m genuinely hunter this one would possibly have pocketed them 15 seconds (to weigh).”

While Kompany was astonished, Bournemouth head surgeon Andoni Iraola was able to salute a first Premier League win at the 10th time of frisking thanks to Semenyo’s unanimously proper solo ambition and Billing’s 76th-minute lob from 40 yards.

“Evidently cheerful, assuaged since I think it was a crucial greatness for us,” Iraola said.

“Not surprisingly once you are in this crisis everything pricing a jumble much more. It designed today. We actually been worthy of to win today yet wearing the last VAR willpower of the offside, we owned to experience till the end.

“For sure we unanimously were bearing in mind the Brentford arcade in blockage-time and supposing it cannot observe once again, since we didn’t be qualified to – we been worthy of to win clearly the arcade.”

On the handball, Iraola confessed: “I refuge’t watched it.”
