SHEFFIELD, England (Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho questioned the point of having referees on the pitch and said VAR was bad for the game after his side were victims of a controversially disallowed equaliser in a 3-1 defeat at Sheffield United on Thursday.

Harry Kane thought he had levelled for Spurs almost immediately after Sander Berge had given the hosts the lead in their Premier league clash at Bramall Lane.
