Great point and one I didn’t expect us to get. Just a shame it’s another massive cock up that’s cost us.
I wouldn't say it cost us, we conceded before we scored.
Had plenty of opportunities to get a lead in the first half, but we just don't have that quality up front.

But that’s sort of the point, for calls so close VAR can’t prove it because the technology isn’t up to it. It’s essentially guessing when it’s inches.
