Leicester City manager Steve Cooper has expressed his deep discontent with the Premier League following a controversial VAR decision in last week’s 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Foxes boss believes a “false image” was used to justify the decision to allow Palace’s first goal, and he has demanded answers from the league.<\/p>\n

Cooper revealed that the club has already contacted the Premier League<\/a> regarding the incident, seeking further clarification. For Leicester<\/a>, the decision was a clear mistake, and they are determined to address it.<\/p>\n

“It was an awful human error that we believe has been hidden a little bit,” Cooper stated. “That\u2019s been as disappointing as the decision itself. We didn\u2019t feel it was right, asked for clarity, and have seen images that clearly show the player was offside.”<\/p>\n

The manager emphasised that all the footage they have seen indicates that the initial decision was based on a false image.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019ve had a massive error go against us, and we don\u2019t want it to go under the radar,” Cooper added. “That\u2019s not fair on the players or the supporters.”<\/p>\n

Cooper believes that such errors should never happen, especially with the assistance of VAR.<\/p>\n

He expressed his disappointment and frustration with the situation, stating, “Errors like that should never happen, especially with VAR. We felt very let down by it, and we needed to stand up for the club and tell them what we thought.”<\/p>\n
