Man Utd 1-0 Aston Villa: Why did VAR disallow Villa equaliser?
Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard said he would not blame the officials after his side had a goal ruled out by VAR in Monday's FA Cup defeat at Manchester United, but plenty of people were left confused by the decision.
Trailing to Scott McTominay's early header, Danny Ings thought he had levelled early in the second half when he turned in from close range after John McGinn's free kick had been flicked on.
But celebrations were put on hold for a lengthy check by VAR, as officials spent almost four minutes appearing to analyse a number of shots in the build up to a goal.
A decision was finally made when referee Michael Oliver went to the pitchside monitor and ruled the goal out for offside.
