England fans frustrated as VAR disallows Phil Foden’s potential equaliser in Euro 2024 clash against Slovakia

England fans expressed their frustration as VAR ruled out Phil Foden‘s potential equaliser in the Euro 2024 knockout clash against Slovakia at the Arena AufSchalke in Germany. The contentious decision came after Foden tapped the ball into the net following an assist from Kieran Trippier.

Slovakia took the lead in the first half through Ivan Schranz, further increasing the tension for England supporters. The disallowed goal by Foden, due to an offside call, left fans displeased both in the stadium and on social media.

Many fans shifted blame to Trippier for not taking the shot himself instead of passing to Foden, igniting a wave of criticism towards the England defender. The frustration was palpable as the VAR decision kept England trailing 1-0 despite the apparent equaliser.

Luke Shaw‘s absence, coupled with Southgate’s decision to replace Trippier with Cole Palmer instead of a natural left-back, added to the controversy. However, England managed a late comeback with stunning goals from Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane, securing a tense 2-1 victory and a spot in the quarter-finals against Switzerland.
