‘VAR breaks football’: Koeman angry at England penalty in Euro 2024 semi-final
Netherlands head coach feels spot-kick award was wrongVan Dijk to consider club and country future over summer
Ronald Koeman criticised the penalty award that brought England an equaliser in the Netherlands’ Euro 2024 semi-final defeat, saying that proper football is finished if that is regarded as a foul.
Harry Kane scored from the spot after the video assistant referee recommended to Felix Zwayer that he use the pitch-side monitor to reassess Denzel Dumfries’s attempt to block a shot by the England captain. Dumfries right boot crashed into Kane’s just after the striker had connected with a shot that went over the bar.
