LONDON (Reuters) - Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford said VAR was "ruining football" after he was harshly denied a goal because of a mystifying offside decision at Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Bamford thought he had made it 1-1 with a well-taken finish but his effort was checked by VAR and it was deemed that his arm had been in an offside position when the ball was passed to him.
