Danny Ings disallowed goal sparks another VAR debate as Southampton lose to Aston Villa

Danny Ings and Southampton were the victims of one of VAR's most controversial calls yet as the striker's stoppage time equaliser against Aston Villa was ruled out by mere millimetres.

Ings thought he'd earned the Saints a late point on Saturday night when he pounced to score after Villa keeper Emiliano Martinez had pushed out a shot by Che Adams.

The offside flag quickly cut short celebrations and VAR official Mike Dean decided that the end of Ings' sleeve, which is classed as a part of the body with which a player can score, was fractionally beyond the backside of the crouching Matty Cash and therefore offside.
