Nuno Espirito Santo has insisted that “something has to be done” with VAR after Wolves were held to a goalless draw at home to Leicester on Friday evening.
Willy Boly’s bullet header was disallowed in the second half after Pedro Neto was adjudged to be offside in the build-up.
It was another VAR farce with just millimetres in it and the Portuguese tactician has called for the powers-that-be to change things in time for next season.
“I’m upset, of course, as Molineux was buzzing and suddenly it went down,” he told the Express and Star.
“It becomes an issue to regain concentration in the game. It’s very hard for the players to sustain the levels of concentration after this kind of decision.
“And after seeing the images, it’s even worse for the fans – all these things.
“Let’s hope those who have to decide take a good look, see what is happening.
“Not only for us as professionals, but for the fans. Something has to be done.”
Boly, set up by Matt Doherty’s header across the face of goal, was forced into a long wait before finding out his goal did not stand.
And Nuno said on the confusion: “They don’t understand as they don’t see, they don’t have the lines.
“They celebrate. When you have something and someone takes it away, you don’t like it.
“Something that is really hard to achieve is a goal, but the law is the law.”
The draw leaves Wolves in seventh place on 36 points.
