VAR made an intervention in the recent Manchester United game, disallowing a late goal that could have potentially changed the outcome of the match. Premier League fans were left shocked and disappointed, as they believed they had witnessed one of the most unlucky offside calls in history.
The game started with Danny Welbeck, a former Manchester United player, scoring a goal for Brighton in the first half. However, Manchester United managed to equalize with a goal from Amad Diallo in the second half. The momentum was in their favor and they were on the verge of taking the lead when Alejandro Garnacho scored from a beautiful cross by Bruno Fernandes. But their celebration was cut short as Brighton players immediately protested to the referee about an offside offense. VAR was consulted and to everyone's surprise, it was found that the ball had flicked off Joshua Zirkee, who was in an offside position, before crossing the line. Therefore, the goal was disallowed.
The replays of the incident left fans and commentator Ally McCoist in disbelief. Some fans on social media even called it the most unlucky offside ever, while others mocked Manchester United for their misfortune. It was a comical yet unfortunate situation for the team.
To make matters worse, Brighton scored an injury-time winner through Joao Pedro, securing a 2-1 victory over Manchester United. This was a blow for United, who had previously won their opening game against Fulham. Former Nottingham Forest manager Mark Warburton praised Brighton's manager, Fabian Hurzeler, for his brave and positive approach to the game. On the other hand, ex-Manchester United defender Phil Jones expressed disappointment over their performance and the loss.
