How ‘Hand of VAR’ breaks Dutch hearts in Euro 2024 semi-final

Ollie Watkins scored a late winner as England defeated the Netherlands 2-1 to reach the Euro final against Spain. Controversy arose over a penalty awarded to England after a VAR review, which Harry Kane converted to level the scores after Xavi Simons gave the Dutch the lead. Gary Neville called the decision “an absolute disgrace.” Some questioned an alleged handball by Bukayo Saka in the build-up, which VAR did not identify, leading to criticism of VAR’s role in the match.
