Peter Crouch led a series of tweets criticising VAR's decision to controversially rule out Fulham striker Josh Maja's equaliser in their 1-0 home defeat by Tottenham due to handball against Mario Lemina.

Nigeria international Maja thought he had levelled things up in the 62nd minute after squeezing a shot past Hugo Lloris, with Tosin Adarabioyo's first-half own goal having given Spurs the lead.

But Maja only received the ball after Tottenham centre-back Davinson Sanchez had tried to clear the ball, but that was blocked by midfielder Lemina.
