Match of the Day host Gary Lineker was forced to explain the offside rule to broadcaster Piers Morgan during Arsenal's 2-1 home defeat to Brighton on Saturday afternoon.
With the score 1-0 to the visitors, Arsenal thought they'd equalised when Gabriel Martinelli found the back of the net on the stroke of half-time. Yet the goal was disallowed for offside following a lengthy VAR review due to Martinelli being ahead of the last defender.
Morgan was furious with the decision. "That is f****** ridiculous," he tweeted. "Martinelli was clearly onside. Outrageous decision - another reason to hate VAR." On seeing the tweet, Lineker simply replied: "He was offside."
