More calls for the VAR system this weekend after two goals were controversially ruled out by the officials, even though both times the ball appeared to have crossed over the goal line before being cleared. World Cup referee Mateu Lahoz disallowed the first by Barcelona’s Luis Suárez in Sunday’s game against Deportivo, and rookie Alberola Rojas turned down the second by Betis captain Joaquín in the match against Málaga the following day. Barça and Betis both won though, so the protests were more muted than they might have been had they not. (20.12.17)
