Cesc Fabregas has expressed frustration over Como’s controversial 2-1 defeat to Juventus, blaming VAR after his team was denied a penalty.
Randal Kolo Muani opened the scoring against the run of play before Assane Diao equalized with a free header just before halftime for Como.
Juventus, however, secured the win with a spot kick from Kolo Muani late into the game, leaving Como empty-handed despite a strong performance.
Fabregas was particularly upset over a missed penalty call involving Federico Gatti, who appeared to handle the ball inside the box.
Despite a VAR check, no penalty was awarded.
“There is no other interpretation, it is a very clear penalty,” Fabregas told Sky Sport Italia.
“Without the touch from the hand, my player is clear on goal. When VAR evaluates that and says nothing, I have doubts in my mind,” he added.
