Premier League have just announced the shocking VAR Error By referees of Manchester United VS Brighton- PGMOL under scrutiny over surprising VAR mistake made by The Referee during the Manchester United Vs Brighton match after two goals was ruled as Offside
However, the defining moment came in the final moments, when Alejandro Garnacho’s goal was rightfully called off.
The replacement had an open goal, but he slammed it into a sliding Joshua Zirkzee, who caught the ball on the goal line.
Zirkzee was in an offside position, but a VAR review revealed he had the final touch.
The possible winner was subsequently ruled out, leaving United manager Erik ten Hag fuming on the touchline.
Former Premier League striker Darren Bent spoke on talkSPORT: “Garnacho must be wondering, ‘Why did not I simply put it in the empty net?'”
They were left to repent the incident – and some poor defending – when Pedro was discovered unmarked at the back post in injury time.
Any one of three players might have converted Simon Adingra’s cross, while eight United players appeared to be unconscious of the danger at the back post.
Sam Matterface, talkSPORT’s top football analyst, could not believe Ten Hag’s players’ lack of awareness.
He said: “Seriously, despite the fact that they had all those defensive guys on the pitch – all the Manchester United defenders, and there are a lot more Manchester United defenders on the pitch than there were previously – are drawn to the ball, which provides so much space at the far post.
“So much so that when Pedro gets on the end of it, he is not only well onside, but he also got two players behind him who, if he misses, will still put it in.
