Stephen Robinson says Motherwell deserved to beat Hibs at Easter Road and Jordan White's goal should have stood.
The Fir Park gaffer was furious that the striker's first half 'goal' was disallowed due to an offside infringement against Sherwin Seedorf, and reckons VAR would have cleared it up.
And Robinson reckons that would have led to Motherwell bagging their first win of the season.
He said: "After seeing it back, the screenshot, as he hits the ball Sherwin Seedorf's not in line with the goalkeeper at all. What you would do for VAR up here? The assistant has called it from 40 yards away, the referee is not in line with the ball.
"I have seen them given them the other way and I am sure Jack has stood here and said it should have been disallowed.
"We should have won 1-0, our performance deserved to. We showed how good a side we are in organisation and possession and creating chances against a good Hibs side.
"To come here, dominate and be in complete control of the game, I think our performance deserved the 1-0 result. The referee has made a call but for me it's a mistake."
Robinson says it's difficult to replicate last season's form, but Motherwell are trying to turn the corner.
He said: "Sometimes young players think what happened last year will just happen again without that extra percentage and we just reminded them of that.
"Jordan White and Callum Lang were very good, Langy will get better and better. My back four today, Stephen O'Donnell is a class act, and to deal with Martin Boyle like we did, he's one of the best players in the league and we didn't give him a sniff.
"It was a very good performance from the midfield against very good players and now we need to follow that up with three points on Saturday."
