FOOTBALL fans hilariously poked fun at a VAR camera angle at Kenilworth Road as Luton hosted a top flight game for the first time in 31 years.

The Hatters brought Premier League action to the 10,000-seater ground on Friday night as they took on West Ham.

It came after a prolonged wait for their opening home match – with the stadium not deemed to be ready to host Burnley last month.

But there were certain quirks that showed why the stadium delay had occurred.

One of those was seeing people working on the turnstiles just hours before kick-off.

And another was the location of one VAR camera.

It appeared to be from the back of one of the stands behind a couple of pillars near the pitch.

It came on Sky Sports’ coverage when the officials were judging whether Michail Antonio was offside before Emerson Palmieiri scored – and he was.

But fans on social media were far more interested in the unusual location of the camera.

One said: “Luton VAR is just a bloke with an iPhone in row z…”

Another added: “Luton’s VAR set-up is just some Nokia 3310s cellotaped to the beams.”

A third replied: “Proper fan cam in the stands at Luton for VAR 😂 Love it.”

While a fourth responded: “That VAR angle at Luton was a camera attached to the first floor window of the small chippy five doors down from the corner flag.”

Luton fans would have been cursing VAR at the end as they were deinied what looked like a clear penalty and a chance to equalise before losing 2-1.
