Southampton legend Matt Le Tissier rages at Manolo Gabbiadini's wrongly disallowed opener in the EFL Cup final: 'That was disgusting'

Southampton legend Matt Le Tissier did not hold back in his assessment of the Saints' wrongly disallowed opening goal in the EFL Cup final, branding the decision 'disgusting.'

Italian striker Manolo Gabbiadini thought he had fired the Saints ahead, only for the linesman to incorrectly raise his flag and keep the scoreline level.

While the advancing Ryan Bertrand was in an offside position, new signing Gabbiadini was clearly not and Le Tissier could not contain his anger once the game got to the half-time interval.

Manchester United entered the break with a slender 2-1 lead, though Le Tissier insisted the decision to deny Gabbiadini early on had already changed the entire game.
