Genoa coach Alberto Gilardino insists defeat to Inter Milan on Monday night.
Genoa lost 2-1, with Gilardino disputing Inter's penalty converted by Alexis Sanchez.
“It didn't look like a penalty on the field and now seeing the footage we have the certainty," Gilardino told Sky Italia.
“When the referee called over to the VAR, he has to evaluate it again, but he didn't. Let's just say it is very dubious, but I prefer to talk about the performance from my lads of great courage and quality.
“It's disappointing, as incidents change games, but we had the right approach throughout against a strong team, my lads gave our all and I am pleased with the performance."
Gilardino also said: “I think the referee and VAR need to communicate, but above all the referee should be very open to listening to the VAR. Seeing as VAR is available, the referees on the field need to stop even if it takes a few minutes to evaluate.
“After that, they are human beings, everyone can make mistakes, but the odds of a mistake ought to be reduced when you view the footage again, that is for sure."
