There was late controversy as Celta Vigo took on Sevilla in La Liga. <\/p>\n<p>With the match locked at 1-1, Vigo were awarded a penalty by the on-field referee, only for the decision to be overturned following a VAR check. The call was too much to take for Vigo\u2019s former Liverpool striker Iago Aspas, who took his anger out on the pitchside monitor, angrily shoving it to the floor.<\/p>\n<p><b> READ MORE: Technology proves Mikel Arteta has nothing to complain about over Newcastle goal <\/b><\/p>\n<p><b> READ MORE: Mikel Arteta goes on epic rant over \u2018embarrassing\u2019 Newcastle goal after three VAR checks <\/b><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk\/incoming\/article31314770.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s615\/0_fm24.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Create a winning approach on the tactics board, incorporating modern systems and positional innovations to deliver big victories on the pitch.<\/li>\n<li>Master the transfer market, using new ways to craft a dream squad capable of winning titles.<\/li>\n<li>Level up your players on the training field and turn your contenders into champions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a339.99 (PS5), \u00a340.49 (PC)<\/p>\n<p> Following the controversy at St James\u2019 and in various other matches this season, many Premier League fans loved Aspas\u2019 reaction and would welcome similar scenes in the English top tier. One said: \u201cHow I wish we have players that have the balls to do that in the Prem.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>A second joked: \u201cThere was no VAR monitor to confirm if he broke the VAR monitor. So no punishment. He was playing 4D chess.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b> <i>Is it time to scrap VAR?

He returned to Celta in 2015 and remains a key player at the age of 36.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk\/incoming\/article31363182.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s615b\/0_Screenshot-2023-11-04-at-201326.png\"><\/p>\n<p>Arteta didn\u2019t quite resort to hurling the monitor at Newcastle, although he may have been tempted judging by his post-match reaction. He fumed: \u201cYou have to talk about how the hell did this goal stand up? Incredible. I feel embarrassed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have to now come in here and try to defend the club and please ask for help because it\u2019s an absolute disgrace that this goal is allowed.
