There’s a fair likelihood something is amiss when Vincent Kompany, who is always cool and collected, launches into another enraged tirade over officiating and VAR.
This would have been an absolutely huge win for Burnley. To be robbed of three points right at the death is bad enough. But for it to happen in these circumstances? Absolutely galling.
Did Burnley play well? Not particularly. Would they have deserved the victory? That’s up for debate.
Either way, that’s besides the point, because this was rightfully billed as a must-win clash between two sides fighting for their lives at the bottom end of the Premier League table and the only thing that mattered was the end result.
The fact that Luton boss Rob Edwards came out after the game and spoke openly, eloquently and honestly about the sympathy he has for Kompany regarding his side’s controversial late goal suggests referee Tony Harrington might just have got this one wrong.
