Mario Gomez has slammed VAR, claiming it is 'bulls***' after the system ruled out his sixth goal in three games.

The 34-year-old striker has had a tough time in the Bundesliga 2 with Stuttgart so far this campaign, scoring just two goals in his 13 appearances since dropping down to the second-tier with them.

And the video assistant referees have thrown more obstacles in his path during the games against Darmstadt, Nurmberg and Sandhausen.

Mario Gomez has had six goals ruled out by VAR in his last three Bundesliga 2 matches

Over the last three matches, Gomez has had an incredible six goals ruled out after he put the ball in the net by the VAR in the booth.

Gomez believes strikers who play like him are particularly heavily punished by VAR.

He told Sky.de: 'This is the sixth time it's only a matter of centimetres. When I see the pictures - that's the same height for me. Just like last time.

'Strikers like me, depending on crosses and passes and playing with the offside line, are punished extremely by VAR.

'Then we have to buy a bunch of Messis who run off with the ball from the middle of the pitch and to score the goals.

'People come to the stadium because they want to see goals. If I look at it that way, it's not even two centimetres and that's a joke.

'But if we whistle every time because of two centimeters and the linesman always raises his flag just to be safe because of all the pressure on the stupid VAR, he's fine because the video evidence revises him. It's such a bulls***.

'Maybe this is the revenge from the referees sitting in that basement for busting their balls for 20 years on the pitch.

'I certainly am one who annoys the referees. Maybe that's a reason.'
