'Announce VAR as our new signing!' Tottenham fans have their say on dramatic draw vs Man City

Tottenham Hotspur fans have reacted in unison to the second favourable VAR decision against Manchester City in the space of four months.

Spurs managed to earn a 2-2 draw at the Etihad Stadium this evening thanks to an Aymeric Laporte handball in injury time which ruled out a nice right-footed finish by Gabriel Jesus.

Raheem Sterling opened the scoring for the Blues with a header from close range but Erik Lamela's left-footed shot from outside the  box tied the contest.

Sergio Aguero put the Blues back in front but a header from substitute Lucas Moura levelled up the match late in the second half.

There was still time for plenty of drama as Jesus scored but the goal was ruled out by VAR due to the aforementioned handball from Laporte.

It's safe to say the decision has delighted Tottenham fans, who have been reacting on social media tonight.

It was certainly an eventful afternoon in Manchester.
