Atalanta and Roma do battle over ‘absurd’ VAR decisions

Mile Svilar and Roma coach Gian Piero Gasperini insisted Giorgio Scalvini’s ‘absurd’ Atalanta goal should’ve been disallowed, while La Dea contested why Gianluca Scamacca’s goal was chalked off.

Atalanta won 1-0 in Bergamo this evening with Scalvini bundling a corner over the line from six yards after Svilar fumbled.

The footage was analysed for quite a while by VAR, but given the all-clear, as if anyone was impeding the Roma goalkeeper, then it was his Roma teammate Devyne Rensch rather than Scalvini.
