Tottenham and Man City just played out four of the craziest minutes in Premier League history

Tottenham vs Manchester City was struck by VAR madness shortly before half-time.

After Serge Aurier fouled Sergio Aguero inside the penalty box, referee Mike Dean originally waved play on. But two minutes later the game was halted as VAR - which was checking the foul while play was going on - confirmed it was a penalty.


Ilkay Gundogan stepped up and saw his spot-kick saved by Hugo Lloris - but don't worry, the drama wasn't done there.

In the aftermath, Raheem Sterling tried to score the rebound and appeared to be tripped by the Spurs goalkeeper.

Dean pointed for a goal kick after the forward went down and a bit of argy-bargy followed, while VAR checked that decision.

The technology eventually judged Sterling to have dived and decided to award no penalty.

Unbelievable. We're also wondering why Sterling wasn't given a second yellow card for diving... But that's a whole other discussion.

He picked up an early booking for a foul on Dele Alli. While the Spurs man was down receiving treatment, VAR was looking at the challenge, to decide if it was worth a red.

It did appear the Man City winger overran the ball and produced a studs-up tackle, but the technology decided against upgrading it to a red card. Check that decision out below:


Incredibly, after all that drama, the two sides went into half-time with the score at 0-0. This is why we love the Premier League.
