The former Rangers manager therefore reacted to the unnecessary delay saying it took the wind out of their sails.

Gerrard reacted when asked about the VAR’s decision:  “How long have you got? The officials took three-and-a-half minutes to settle that one.”

“The linesman said it was to do with Jacob impeding Cavani’s run.”

“It wasn’t that complex to need three-and-a-half minutes and it’s disappointing as we were in a good place at the time and that took a bit of sting out of the game.”
