Coventry City manager Frank Lampard expressed frustration with three key VAR decisions during his side's loss to Everton on Saturday. The match, played at Goodison Park, saw Lampard's team fall to a defeat that he believes was influenced by controversial video assistant referee interventions.

According to reports, Lampard specifically pointed to a hair-pull incident that he felt should have been penalized, along with two other pivotal calls that went against Coventry. The former Chelsea and England midfielder, now in charge of the Championship club, rued the decisions after the final whistle.

The defeat adds to Coventry's challenges this season as they compete in the second tier of English football, while Everton continue their Premier League campaign. Lampard's post-match comments highlight ongoing debates about VAR consistency in English football across different competitions.
