I know not to celebrate because of VAR, says Brighton winger Trossard

Leandro Trossard says he does not want to celebrate immediately after Brighton score a goal in case VAR rules it out.

VAR has proved controversial among fans, pundits and players due to the long delays between incidents and the referee’s final decision, with several high-profile incidents plaguing Champions League and World Cup games.

Its introduction to the Premier League this season has already sparked a few debatable moments, as the Seagulls have experienced, having had a goal disallowed by the video review system in both of their last two matches.

After Trossard saw a goal chalked off against West Ham the previous week, it was Lewis Dunk’s turn on Saturday as he was denied for offside in the defeat to Southampton.
