Carlos Queiroz Fumes After He Claims His Iran Side Were Denied Victory Against Portugal By VAR

Iran manager Carlos Queiroz launched into a spectacular 10 minute rant in his post-match press conference after VAR controversially stole the headlines in his side's 1-1 draw with Portugal in the World Cup on Monday.

Portugal thought they had wrapped up the victory thanks to a wonder strike from Ricardo Quaresma towards the start of the second half, however they were denied in stoppage time as Iran were awarded a penalty - all thanks to VAR.

However, the Iran manager was not happy - insisting that Portugal should have been down to ten men after Cristiano Ronaldo 'elbowed' one of his players.
