Valencia corporate chief Javier Solis slammed the match officials after yesterday's 2-0 home defeat to Sevilla.

The result leaves VCF in the bottom three of the LaLiga table.

Valencia were left frustrated after being denied two penalty shouts during the game.

Solis later said: “We are disgusted and p***ed off. We have experienced a shame with arbitration. Not only with the penalty that they swiped from us. It has been a slow-motion robbery because the VAR is involved.

"We are tired. Football smells bad. It must be hard for the referee to sleep tonight because it's a major shame. We are upset and disgusted. We do not deserve the refereeing that we are suffering this season.

“There are already 17 VAR failures that we have. We're down and we can't just criticise the referees, but it's a real shame. I don't want to get into a communications war. The images are flagrant."
