Hasselbaink said that VAR intervention was ridiculous, insisting it was not foul.

“I think it’s ridiculous they go back. I don’t think it’s a foul. They’re saying they’re going to be more lenient,” he said on Sky Sports.

“Yes, there is contact, but Eriksen is just weaker than Odegaard and it’s a turnover of play.”

“He’s being weak and just falls on the floor.”
