Leandro Trossard Admits VAR Introduction Has Affected His Immediate Celebration of Goals

Brighton's Leandro Trossard has admitted that he is reluctant to immediately celebrate scoring because VAR may overturn the award of a goal.

The Belgian winger saw his side have a goal correctly disallowed as Lewis Dunk's header was ruled offside against Southampton on Saturday, just a week after Trossard himself had a volley against West Ham ruled out for the same reason.

Now, the 24-year-old has told Sky Sports that the introduction of technology has hindered his initial joy when a goal is scored - because he gets the feeling that VAR may intervene.

"I knew not to celebrate after last week and I could tell by the players' reactions that something wasn't right and it was clear they were going to review it.
