Parish also said that he thought the referee blew his whistle for a foul on Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford just before the goal was scored, but the goal was allowed to stand. Parish’s comments come after several high-profile controversies involving VAR this season. Earlier this month, Liverpool were given a controversial penalty against Bayern Munich in the Champions League semifinals after a VAR review proved inconclusive. And earlier this season, Chelsea were punished with a 3-0 loss at Tottenham Hotspur after complaints from both clubs about what appeared to be a poor decision by VAR. The criticisms of VAR are not new, but they seem to be getting louder as the system becomes more heavily used.
