Mark Clattenburg savages 'unforgivable' decisions that went against Leeds as he calls for Championship to adopt VAR

<p>Leeds beat Middlesbrough 1-0 in the Championship on Tuesday evening but two goals scored by Daniel Farke's side were incorrectly ruled out for offside. Daniel James scored early on and Ao Tanaka and Patrick Bamford followed up by hitting the back of the net as well, although both goals were wrongly disallowed. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Clattenburg, a former top referee who has officiated the finals of the Champions League and the European Championships, believes both decisions are "unforgivable" and insists it is yet more evidence that VAR must be introduced in the second-tier.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Clattenburg said, per <a href="https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-united/leeds-united-handed-new-referee-31383513" target="_blank">Leeds-Live</a>: "The two incorrect offside decisions are unforgivable. The same Assistant Referee has made earlier errors in the season and one would question how he is still operating at the top tier of the Football League.</p><p>"I am sure PGMOL and his coaches will be looking at this and trying to improve his future performances. The cry for VAR will rumble on in the Championship.</p><p>"They have goal-line technology and maybe the next step is to have offside covered by the technology which are still factual decisions but wrong decisions can have a massive impact on a club."</p>

WHAT MARK CLATTENBURG SAID

<p>Leeds are top of the Championship, and are level on points with second-placed Burnley. Third-placed Sheffield United are two points behind.</p>
