Liverpool flop Iago Aspas threw a VAR monitor to the ground as he went on a furious rampage during Celta Vigo’s draw with Sevilla.
The striker had started the clash at the Abanca-Balaidos on Saturday evening before being subbed off with 20 minutes to go. At that point, Celta were on course for what would have been a vital win, but Youssef En-Nesyri came off the bench to equalise with six minutes to go. The hosts thought they would have a last-gasp chance to claim all three points deep into injury time when referee Alejandro Hernandez awarded them a penalty for an apparent foul by Jesus Navas on Anastasios Douvikas.
But after a VAR check, Hernandez overturned his decision, sparking fury among the home crowd and their players. Aspas, by this point watching on from the bench could not contain his anger.
He had been standing on the sidelines and when the decision was announced, turned to the ground and threw up his hands. Aspas then stormed towards the area where the VAR monitor is kept. The striker grabbed it with both hands and threw it to the ground before being led away by a member of Celta’s coaching staff. Following the game, he was still furious when questioned about his outburst.
