Arsenal legend David Seaman believes the match-defining VAR incident in Tottenhams Carabao Cup win over Chelsea highlights a grey area in the use of technology.Harry Kane scored the games only goal from the spot after the video assistant referee overruled an offside call in the build-up to the penalty decision.3

Harry Kane was adjudged to be onside in the build up to the penalty call

While there was little doubt about Kepa Arrizabalagas foul on Kane, replays have raised questions as to whether the Tottenham striker was actually onside.After the game, Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri provided an alternative angle which appeared to show Kane leaning into an offside position, while Blues defenders insisted they stopped playing due to the linesmans flag.And former England goalkeeper Seaman claims the incident has exposed certain flaws in the VAR system.

"Even from the replays, he did look offside.""Are players still being told to play to the whistle?" Alan Brazil & @TheDavidSeaman discuss the VAR controversy during #THFC's win over #CFC.What did you make of the incident? pic.twitter.com/KRkTEKz66e— talkSPORT (@talkSPORT) January 9, 2019

Its really tight, he told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast.When you look at it, and when you saw the replays, he did look offside.A couple of the defenders stop. I think its [Andreas] Christensen, he puts his hand up and then points over to the linesman whose flag is up, so players naturally just stop.The linesman has stopped on the line there; he hasnt carried on with the play.

Its just a weird one. Are the players told to play to the whistle now? I dont know. Its just a really grey area.If Kepa stops and points to the linesman, what happens then? Harry Kane just takes it round him and knocks it in.Chelsea can consider themselves unfortunate to be trailing at the halfway stage of their two-legged semi-final.Sky Sports3

This angle suggests Kane was offside in the build-up

The Blues dominated for large spells of the game at Wembley and Sarri was left feeling a sense of injustice over Kanes winner.From the image from our camera, Kane was offside, clearly offside, Sarri said.But its not important. I think its more important that the linesman stopped the run, he didnt follow the ball.So for the players on the pitch, its clearly offside. He had a big influence on our defenders.At the moment I think that English referees are not able to use the system.
