LONDON (Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou was left fuming despite their 3-1 Premier League win over Southampton on Sunday after the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) took nearly five minutes to chalk off a Spurs goal for offside.

Lucas Bergvall thought he had made it 2-0 from a set-piece in the 33rd minute when he found the bottom corner, but VAR ruled out the effort for a marginal offside after a check lasting four minutes and fifty seconds.
