England striker, Jamie Vardy, was left fuming with the ​Video Assistant Refereeing(VAR) system, as Italy were awarded a late penalty to deny England a deserved victory in the international friendly last night.





The Three Lions took the lead through Vardy's well-taken goal in the first half. They were en route to victory when James Tarkowski seemingly brought Federico Chiesa down inside the area.







Match official, Deniz Aytekin hesitated for a moment before asking the VAR to take a look. VAR adjudged the infraction to be worthy of a penalty, and Lorenzo Insigne made no mistake from 12-yards out.

Vardy was left bitter with the stalemate and was left questioning the VAR system.





"It is what it is," he said, as quoted by Daily Mail.





"They say they are using it at the World Cup so we have used it tonight. Obviously, most of it is down to players and supporters not knowing what is going on. It is okay to come up and say VAR is in use but no-one knows what it is going on. It is obviously taking time as well, there were five minutes added on."

"I think there are still issues with it but it works in other countries so who knows?"
