Monaco star Ruben Aguilar has summed up how many football fans are feeling about VAR right now.
The right-back has been filmed kicking the pitchside monitor after being sent off during his side's 1-0 defeat to Saint-Etienne on Sunday night.
Aguilar was shown a straight red card for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity in the 92nd minute.
While he can have few complaints about being given his marching orders, it's the way VAR was used during an incident earlier in the match that has irked him.
Saint-Etienne's defender Wesley Fofana also denied Monaco a goalscoring opportunity earlier in the second half and was sent off by the referee.
But, after VAR intervention, the decision was overturned for offside in the build-up, meaning Fofana stayed on the pitch.
Aguilar was evidently fuming about both incidents as he made his way to the tunnel and kicked out at the pitchside monitor.
