The first halves of the final day Premier League showdown between Leeds United and Burnley have done little to settle the nerves for fans of either team. Although, a goal at Turf Moor for Newcastle United has certainly helped the Whites’ survival prospects.
Callum Wilson’s converted penalty in the 20th minute was greeted by huge cheers from the away end at the Brentford Community Stadium. Just seconds later, they had even more to cheer about, but the celebrations were ultimately in vain.
After Joe Gelhardt finished off a brilliant Leeds move by smashing the ball into the roof of the net, VAR concluded that the 20-year-old has strayed a hair’s breadth offside. It would’ve definitely settled the nerves had the goal not been ruled out and it would’ve also been the reward for one of the better halves of football the Whites have enjoyed this season.
