FORMER Liverpool forward Iago Aspas threw the VAR monitor to the ground after his Celta Vigo side were denied a penalty last night.<\/p>\n
The Spaniard joined the Reds from Celta in 2013, before returning to the LaLiga side two years later.<\/p>\n

Aged 36, he remains a talismanic figure at Estadio de Balaidos.<\/p>\n
His struggling side, managed by former Anfield boss Rafa Benitez, hosted Sevilla yesterday.<\/p>\n
In desperate need of points, former Celtic defender Carl Starfelt gave them the lead on 22 minutes by heading home Aspas' set-piece.<\/p>\n
Things got difficult, however, after Renato Tapia's 65th minute red card.<\/p>\n
Sevilla star Youssef En-Nesyri equalised for the visitors six minutes from time with an instinctive finish.<\/p>\n Deep into six minutes of additional time, Celta thought they had been handed a golden opportunity to win it.<\/p>\n When a searching cross was sent into the middle, it appeared that former Manchester City ace Jesus Navas had dragged down his man.<\/p>\n The referee initially pointed to the penalty spot, booking Navas.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n FREE BETS – BEST BETTING OFFERS AND BONUSES NEW CUSTOMERS<\/strong><\/p>\n Following a lengthy VAR review, the official enraged Celta by overturning the decision.<\/p>\n Aspas, who had been substituted by this point, was even seen throwing the monitor to the floor in disgust.<\/p>\n The final whistle was blown just moments after the game restarted, with Celta players rushing to surround the referee.<\/p>\n Celta are 18th after 12 games, having won only once and picked up seven points.<\/p>\n Aspas has been a reliable goal-getter for Celta over many years, scoring 196 times in 468 appearances for the club.<\/p>\n But his frustrations appear to be at an all-time high, having so far failed to score in 11 appearances as captain this season.<\/p>\n Sevilla, meanwhile, sneaked a late point with ten men ahead of a tricky mid-week assignment.<\/p>\n The reigning Europa League winners will travel to North London to face Arsenal in the Champions League.<\/p>\n<\/picture>TURKISH DELIGHT <\/span><\/p>\n
