Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher says he can't see why VAR got involved and ruled out Elliot Anderson's header at Nottingham Forest. Referee Paul Tierney originally awarded Newcastle United the goal, but was told to go to the monitor and disallow the goal for a supposed offside in the build-up.
Sean Longstaff was adjudged to be offside, despite Forest defender Filipe playing the ball off the Newcastle midfielder. Under the laws of the game, the goal would have stood if the Brazilian defender deliberately cleared the ball in the direction of Longstaff.
Which Gallagher - and many others - believes he did. Instead, Anderson's goal was chalked off at an important time in the game with both sides in need of three points.
