Millie Bright: England captain says no VAR is ‘mind-blowing’ in Netherlands loss
BBC News says It is “mind-blowing” that the video assistant referee was not used in England’s Women’s Nations League defeat by the Netherlands, says captain Millie Bright.
Renate Jansen’s 90th-minute goal gave the Netherlands a 2-1 victory after Alessia Russo cancelled out Lieke Martens’ opener.
However, midfielder Danielle van de Donk appeared to be offside when Martens put the hosts ahead in Utrecht.
“There is no consistency,” said Bright.
“It is always frustrating [to not have VAR]. I think we push the level of the game to be so high and professional, yet we sometimes have VAR, sometimes don’t, sometimes have goalline technology…
“By no means is that an excuse. We put ourselves in that position – not clearing the ball, not getting out of pressure. But yeah, they are the differences in games as well and it is really unfortunate that these are still huge decisions that are incorrect.
