The Video Assistant Referee system is "not fit for purpose" at the World Cup, according to Gary Neville. England's dramatic win over Tunisia on Monday had its fair share of VAR controversy, with England being denied what appeared to be two certain penalties as Harry Kane was dragged down in the box.

Neither incident was picked up by VAR officials upon review, prompting widespread criticism of the process. Speaking on Twitter, former England coach Neville said "it's not fit for purpose" and added "either give the VAR refs more time and accept the delay OR the broadcasters have to be working with the VAR officials".
