Armenia defender Arman Hovhannisyan somehow avoided a red card after launching a water bottle toward the linesman during his side's 2-0 Nations League loss to Scotland.Scotland took the lead after 28 minutes as Anthony Ralston heading home from Stuart Armstrong's cross. It was 2-0 12 minutes later as Scott McKenna also found the back of the net with his head.And McKenna looked to have made it 3-0 when he swept the ball home from inside Armenia's penalty area.However, the visiting defenders were furious and felt there was an offside. In fact, one of them was so furious that he decided to pick up a water bottle and launch it toward the linesman who failed to give offside.No, really.After the goal had been scored, Hovhannisyan angrily picked up the bottle off the pitch and threw it hard toward the assistant referee. Fortunately, it didn't hit him.

Hovhannisyan clearly forgot that VAR was in operation.

He was right in the fact Armenia's goal was offside and VAR ruled it out.

And fortunately for him, they decided not to punish him for his show of anger - despite Aston Villa man, John McGinn's protests to referee Sebastian Gishamer.

Former Scotland striker and pundit, James McFadden believes VAR should have looked at the incident. "To pick a bottle up, and even think about throwing at an official, and to get away with it; incredible. 

"We have VAR, they have cameras everywhere, they should be looking at that."

Alan Hutton agreed with his co-pundit, adding: "That's in the direction of the linesman, that's terrible. You should be punished for that."

Scotland went on to win the match 2-0 to bounce back from their disappointment of losing to Ukraine in their World Cup qualifier last week.

They face Ireland on Saturday looking to continue their perfect start to their Nations League League B Group 1 campaign.
