Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has branded VAR ‘not good enough’ after another decision went against his side in their 2-1 win against Tottenham on Saturday.

Giovani Lo Celso clearly stamped on Cesar Azpilicueta’s leg during the match, but VAR decided not to show a red card after deeming he had nowhere else to put his foot.

However, the officials at Stockley Park admitted later in the match that a red card should have been shown, but too late for any action to be taken in the game.

‘It’s not good enough,’ said Lampard in his post-match interview on BT Sport. ‘I’m sorry, two VAR [decisions] in two games. It’s always harder when you lose and people think you’re just shouting about it.

‘But maybe you need to shout because that’s not good enough. Everybody in the world saw it was a red.

‘I hate to call for red cards, but when you’re endangering players, that was a leg-breaker of a challenge.

Lampard said it was a ‘leg-breaker of a challenge’ and that everyone saw it was a red card

‘I’m not saying anything about the referee on the spot, it’s not easy, but VAR is here to clear those up. I’m not surprised they’ve put it right but it’s not good enough.’

It is unclear whether any retrospective action will be taken against Lo Celso.

Azpilicueta himself spoke about the incident after the game, saying he was surprised a red was not shown.

It comes just five days after Lampard’s most recent rant against VAR, as he insisted Harry Maguire should’ve been sent off in their defeat to Manchester United earlier this week.

He called for the on-pitch referee to go and look at the monitor, rather than leave the decisions up to Stockley Park.
