A VAR conspiracy?! Steve Cooper claims Leicester have 'PROOF' that technology went wrong during Crystal Palace clash as he rails against 'hidden' human error

Premier League

Leicester

Aston Villa

Crystal Palace

<p>During Leicester's 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace, Jean-Philippe Mateta saw a goal ruled out for offside, but VAR ruled that he was level with the last defender, and allowed the strike to stand. Palace were 2-0 down at the time, and rallied to claim a point. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Now, Cooper has claimed that Leicester have proof VAR was wrong. <a href="https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/41327986/leicester-manager-steve-cooper-claims-proof-var-error" target="_blank">ESPN</a> reports that several pictures posted to social media - from a different frame - claimed to show that Mateta was offside, and those images may form the basis of Leicester's argument. Cooper, though, says that there has been something of a cover-up. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>He told reporters: "We're over it now, it was an awful human error that we believe has been hidden a little bit. </p><p>"We have seen different images that show he clearly was offside, but unfortunately they froze it at the wrong time and he was deemed to be onside. Everything that has been seen has been a false image.</p><p>"On Monday we showed the Premier League with clear footage that actually the game was stopped at the wrong time.</p><p>"Decisions go against you whether it's in-game or VAR and we've had a massive error go against us. We don't want it to go under the radar because I don't think that's right for the players or for the supporters.</p><p>"Errors like that shouldn't happen and it's why we're changing to the semi-automated system. We felt very let down by it. We needed to stand up for the club and tell the Premier League what we thought."</p>

WHAT COOPER SAID

<p>The PGMOL have insisted that Cooper is wrong, per Sky Sports News, and stand by the decision made during the weekend's clash. </p><p></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">BREAKING: PGMOL have rejected Leicester’s claim of “human error” and insisted that no mistake was made for the controversial VAR decision against Crystal Palace 🚨 <a href="https://t.co/2g4IUElGGu">pic.twitter.com/2g4IUElGGu</a></p>— Sky Sports News (@SkySportsNews) <a href="https://twitter.com/SkySportsNews/status/1836796278102970375?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 19, 2024</a></blockquote>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>It remains to be seen if a punishment is handed down to Cooper by the Premier League for his statements. In the meantime, Leicester face Everton this weekend. </p>
