Norwich City manager Philippe Clement lamented the absence of Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology after his team suffered a 2-0 defeat to East Anglian rivals Ipswich Town. The match saw Ipswich take an early lead through a penalty, which Clement argued was not warranted. He stated, "It hurts because you lose... and you get a penalty against you which isn't a penalty," referring to the incident involving Anis Ben Slimane. Clement pointed out that the second player involved was already diving before any contact was made. He also highlighted another missed decision where Marcelino Nunez should have received a second yellow card. Despite having more possession and creating chances, Norwich failed to convert, which Clement noted as a learning opportunity. The team will next face Bristol City on April 18.
