Spurs File Complaint Over VAR Decision
Tap title to read story
Tottenham Hotspur are set to submit a formal complaint to Pro Ref after a decision not to send off Jayden Bogle for his challenge on Mathys Tel during a defeat by Leeds.
Bogle, twenty‑six, escaped punishment despite catching the Leeds defender on the back of the ankle with his studs in the first half of Saturday’s game.
The incident was reviewed thoroughly by the Video Assistant Referee, but referee John Brooks did not visit the pitch‑side monitor, allowing Bogle to remain on the field.
Former Premier League assistant referee Darren Cann said the Leeds defender was "fortunate" not to be dismissed, noting the challenge met serious foul play criteria.
Tottenham believe Bogle should have been sent off and will write to Pro Ref seeking an explanation.
