Despite the fact that VAR only came into play in the last year or so, Tottenham already have a deep history with the technology.
Perhaps the standout moment in the VAR-Spurs relationship comes in the form of a memorable Champions League quarter-final match against Man City.
Tottenham won the first leg of the encounter 1-0 at the new stadium, with one away trip between them and the semis against Ajax.
The game was a rollercoaster ride for Spurs fans as they went 1-0 down in the early minutes, before going 2-1 up within ten minutes.
Man City then raced ahead 4-2 on the night and 4-3 on aggregate, meaning that Spurs would be knocked out of the competition.
However, Fernando Llorente’s hip/hand goal survived a VAR scare to put Spurs back into the lead on aggregate, with the Lilywhites hanging on until the dying seconds.
Raheem Sterling tapped home a winner to break Tottenham hearts in the 93rd minute, only for the goal to be ruled out for offside on Aguero via VAR.
