Peter Crouch has described it as "unbelievable" that Arsenal had a winning goal disallowed by VAR during the 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace yesterday (Sunday).
Sokratis thought he had scored a second goal of the game as he smashed home in the 83rd minute after a bit of pinball in the Palace box.
But Sokratis' celebrations were cut short as VAR overturned the on-field decision to allow the goal to stand, with Arsenal fans left fuming as a second decision went against the Gunners on the day, following the penalty awarded to Palace.
And Crouch said he could not understand the decision made by VAR, with the former Tottenham striker delivering a brilliant response when speaking as a pundit on BBC programme Match of the Day 2.
“I’ve seen it 406 times and I can’t see anything clear and obvious about that," he said.
"I thought Sokratis took it really, really well. I would have been absolutely fuming if that goal was taken away from me.
"This is what they are saying, there is contact there but if you look at that [Gary] Cahill is pushing into [Calum] Chambers. There is so much going on, how you call a foul in there and overturn a decision is unbelievable.
"It was clearly not clear and obvious. That television screen reminds me of my Burnley career last season! I was underused and very sad!"
Meanwhile, he said that in his opinion, referee Martin Atkinson should have gone over to look at the screen to see the incident for himself, adding that if he had, the decision might have been different.
“Well he needs to go and have a look," he said.
"We just don’t look at the screen in this country. In the Bundesliga I think they use it and it’s like 40/50 times that the referee has looked at the screen.
"Having said that, what is he going to see? Not enough. And therefore he would have allowed the goal."
