Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou has called for an end to the questioning of officials\u2019 decisions in order to prevent their authority being undermined.<\/p>\n

Spurs had two players sent off in the 4-1 defeat \u2013 their first loss of the Premier League season \u2013 at home to Chelsea but refused to criticise referee Michael Oliver.<\/p>\n

However, after a first half which had 12 minutes added on due to several VAR checks, the Australian felt a number of incidents have led to an overuse of technology.<\/p>\n

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta called Newcastle\u2019s winning goal against his team after three VAR checks a \u201cdisgrace\u201d on Saturday and the club issued a statement calling for the standard of officiating to be \u201curgently addressed\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cDecisions are decisions: you either accept it or you don\u2019t,\u201d Postecoglou told Sky Sports.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of it is self-inflicted (but) if we are going to go out and complain about bad decisions every week what will happen is what happened today: a forensic study of every decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that\u2019s the way the game is going. I don\u2019t like it \u2013 I could be a lone voice as I\u2019m told that\u2019s the way forward. With VAR intervention it just felt like a lot of standing around.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt some point we have to accept the referee\u2019s decision. This constant erosion of referees\u2019 authority, this is what the game is going to get: they will not have any authority, it is going to get diminished and we are going to be in the control of someone a few miles away watching a TV screen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Spurs had led through Dejan Kulusevski\u2019s sixth-minute deflected goal and had a second from Son Heung-min ruled out for offside by VAR.<\/p>\n

But when Cristian Romero was sent off for a challenge on Enzo Fernandez which allowed Cole Palmer to equaliser from the penalty spot the game changed and a reckless second yellow card for Destiny Udogie early in the second half left the hosts with an uphill battle.<\/p>\n

They held out until the 75th minute when Nicolas Jackson scored the first goal of his hat-trick, adding two more deep into added time.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s pretty hard to process because it\u2019s almost impossible to analyse the game,\u201d added Postecoglou.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re left disappointed with the result but proud of the efforts of the players and that is the positive we will take out of it.\u201d<\/p>\n
