From dancing on the touchline to shouting in despair, Antonio Conte went through an emotional finish to the Spurs game.
The referee consulted the video assistant referee and the goal was ruled out for being out of place.
The man was sent off for reacting. Spurs didn't win but they did draw 2-2.
If they are to progress to the next stage of the competition, they will have to win their next game.
"This decision creates a lot of damage, I hope the club understands this," said a furious Antonio. The club needs to be strong. This situation creates a lot of damage.
The moment of controversy came in the 95th minute as Kane prodded home after Emerson Royal had headed the ball into his path.
Danny Makkelie, the on-field referee, would not be deterred from standing by that decision despite the protests from several Spurs players.
We thought we won it, so we celebrated. I don't know what happened at the end.
It was a different phase of play because it went backwards and hit the defender. I need to read the rule book. Some of us have no idea what happened.
The decision came just a few days after another controversial VAR decision, making it even more frustrating for the man.
The opening goal of the game was awarded after a lengthy VAR check, but it was still a loss for the visitors.
On that occasion, he directed a message to the board as he called for money, time and patience to turn Spurs into a truly competitive side.
He was not able to hold on to his feelings after the game.
He wants to see if you can make this type of decision with a top team. I want to know if the VAR is brave to make this decision.
The ball is in the air. You can assess the situation and I am really upset. I don't believe in honesty. I become upset when I don't see what I'm seeing.
Spurs should not have been in a position where they were trying to get a late winner.
The more I look at it, the more I like it.
In the first half, Spurs were way off it. If they started the game like they did in the second half, this would have been a lot worse.
They have to go to a hostile place to get a result. They are under a lot of stress.
The bottom line for me is that it's not important. You're killing the raw emotion of the game when you use the VAR.
There are injured players on the pitch. The fans have gone crazy. Then 10 minutes later, the goal is ruled out. Football isn't about this. Football is about feeling something.
The game we love is being dragged out by the VAR.
