Tottenham Hotspur, which had a sluggish start at the beginning of the season, turned on the green light for a rebound. This is thanks to a 3-1 come-from-behind victory over Brentford in the fifth round of the English Premier League (EPL) at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the night of the 21st (Korea time). Tottenham, who added three points with the win, moved from 13th to 10th.
But as it turned out, there was incredible luck in the background of Tottenham's victory. If it wasn't for this luck, it might have been hard for Tottenham to guarantee a come-from-behind victory. Lucky for Tottenham, but the worst misfortune for Brentford.
During the game, Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario (28) had to receive a red card, but the referee did not see it. It was not even caught by VAR. After the game, local experts pointed out this, but it was not possible to change the result. On this day, Tottenham deserves to be called 'Full level of luck'
British media TBR Football reported on the 22nd that Tottenham was lucky to win, saying that the BBC football commentator commented on a very strange VAR error that occurred in the match between Tottenham and Brentford.
Tottenham got off to a shocking start by conceding the first goal to Brentford Brian Mbemo 22 seconds into the match. However, Son Heung-min came from behind to win 3-1 with a dedicated performance of recording two assists.
After the game, an expert pointed out the controversial scene. Nedum Onuoha, who played in Manchester City and QPR, mentioned the scene in an interview with the BBC. Tottenham goalkeeper Vicario appeared to be handling the ball outside the penalty line in the second half of the game. Brentford Christopher Ayer and Thomas Frank strongly appealed to the referee, but no cards came out. The referee didn't see it.
However, Onuoha made three attempts to touch the ball when Vicario came out of the goal area. The third touch may look different depending on the viewing angle, but at some angles, it may be seen that it was touched in the box box. It's a scene that could be a red card. "It's very strange that VAR missed this scene. It was a very important moment in the game", he pointed out.
It was very lucky for Bikirio as well as Tottenham. If Vicario was sent off with a red card for a handball foul, Tottenham's come-from-behind victory is likely to have become impossible. Backup keeper Fraser Foster was very sluggish in the last Cup. In other words, it was a game of great luck.
