Ralph Hasenhuttl said VAR is 'destroying the game' after Southampton's 2-1 loss to Wolves on Sunday.

Saints looked like dominating Wolves like they did in the FA Cup last week when Danny Ings fired in a rasping volley after 25 minutes.

But the game turned on its head in the second-half when Wolves were awarded a penalty for handball when Ryan Bertrand blocked Nelson Semedo's attempt with his arm.

The visitors never looked the same after the equaliser and Pedro Neto pounced on their defensive frailties by blasting home the winner inside Alex McCarthy's far post.

The loss was Southampton's sixth in a row in the Premier League, and Hasenhuttl wasn't a happy man when speaking after the game.

"I am normally a big fan, and if the VAR followed the rules everything would be easy," said Hasenhuttl in reference to Wolves' penalty.

"I don't know what Mr Atkinson saw today, but they are not doing a good job at the moment. It is that simple. VAR is destroying the game, that's right.

"The referee explained that the arm was stretched away from the body. But when the ball hit the arm it stretched the arm away for me."
