Ange Postecoglou was again left irked by VAR as Tottenham Hotspur triumphed over Southampton in the Premier League.
The former Celtic boss was left frustrated by a delay during the match as lines were drawn for an offside call on Lucas Bergvall.
The Spurs midfielder had netted to make it 2-0 but a five-minute delay occurred with the goal eventually ruled out by VAR in a factual offside decision.
For that Bergvall goal that was eventually chalked off by VAR after an age, Ange Postecoglou at one point appeared to flick an imaginary coin on the touchline, as if to say, if VAR rules it out or not is pot luck

Postecoglou made his feelings clear on the touchline as he pretend to flip a coin as he waited on a decision to be made by VAR officials.
The ex-Parkhead boss then jokingly gestured as though playing rock, paper, scissors as the wait for lines to be drawn went on in North London.
After the match, Postecoglou said: "If you told me a few years ago that we would be spending five minutes during a football game standing around I would never have believed you.

"They draw those lines [to check for offside] -- is anyone convinced by those? This is not a slight on anyone... but the fact we're waiting five minutes, I really don't think that's what technology was brought in for.
"I think it's gone too far down the road for anyone to claw it back. We used to allow the assistants to make those decisions and we all accepted it."
Brennan Johnson opened the scoring after 13 minutes before doubling his tally three minutes before half time.
Mateus Fernandes pulled one back for Southampton, who were officially relegated after the loss, before Mathys Tel scored from the spot for Spurs.
