'Oh my gosh' - Calvert-Lewin reacts to 'disaster' VAR call as last-minute winner vs Man Utd is ruled out

Dominic Calvert-Lewin was dumbfounded by the decision to rule out his stoppage-time winner for Everton against Manchester United on Sunday, calling it a “disaster”.

The in-form striker snuck a shot into the bottom corner in the dying moments of the game, but it was overturned by VAR as Gylfi Sigurdsson, on the turf in front of the goal, was adjudged to have interfered with play by obstructing David de Gea’s view.

The eventual 1-1 draw left United in fifth and Everton 11th, with the Toffees missing the chance to return to the top half of the Premier League table.
