Burnley secured back to back wins in the Premier League after beating AFC Bournemouth 3-0 on Saturday at Turf Moor.

After a 0-0 first-half, the Clarets took the lead through Matej Vydra who has now scored in back to back games. Vydra got himself into a very good position to score in the first half as well, but couldn’t find the net.

Bournemouth thought they had equalised through Harry Wilson but VAR judged that Adam Smith had used his upper arm to control the ball in the build-up to the move.

Not only was the goal disallowed but Burnley was given a penalty. Jay Rodriguez scored the resulting spot-kick to give his side a 2-0 lead.

Popular football pundit Gary Lineker took to Twitter to express his reaction.

Don’t know where to begin with this one. VAR have disallowed a Goal for Bournemouth as they decided there was a handball in the build up (it wasn’t). That handball was in the Bournemouth box so they gave a penalty to Burnley who scored. Ludicrous.
