Pep Guardiola was left furious after VAR intervened to rule out an Erling Haaland goal which could have extended Manchester City ’s winning streak in the Premier League to 13 games.
City were held to a 1-1 draw at Brighton on Wednesday night in their first match since they lifted the Premier League trophy on Sunday. Phil Foden gave City the lead from Haaland’s pass before Julio Enciso equalised with a stunning strike into the top corner from long range.
Brighton pushed hard for a winning goal, but looked to have dropped two points when Haaland headed in Cole Palmer’s cross at the back post. Haaland celebrated his 37th league goal of the season before VAR recommended referee Simon Hooper review the goal on the pitchside monitor.
