VAR needs more work after 'exceptionally harsh decision' goes against Denmark, claims Schmeichel

The goalkeeper was angry at the impact that the Video Assistant Referee had when they awarded a penalty against his side

Kasper Schemichel feels angry that the VAR has gone against Denmark twice in his side’s first two games of the World Cup in Russia and he doesn’t think it is a good enough system to be implemented yet at a major tournament.

The Leicester City man was helpless to stop prolific penalty taker Mile Jedinak’s equaliser from the spot, after referee Lahoz consulted VAR for a handball by Yussuf Poulsen.

The play initally continued before Lahoz called back to look at Poulsen’s handball, although many in the Denmark camp believed the strike was too close to the RB Leipzig man and the handball accidental.
