Aaron Ramsdale lead angry Southampton fans on social media after their side saw a goal controversially ruled out during their clash with Brighton.
In the second-half, with the score locked at 1-1, Southampton thought they had taken the lead through Cameron Archer after he poked home from close range.
However, referee Robert Jones ruled it out for offside. VAR then took a look and overruled it, deeming Archer to be onside.
They then checked over the footage a second time and ruled that the goal should be ruled out due to the fact teammate Adam Armstrong was offside and attempted to intervene.
However, fans both in the stadiums and watching from home were left confused after the VAR officials checked over the goal and ruled that it was fine - before then backtracking on the decision.
The Premier League Match Centre explained on X: 'The referee’s call of no goal was checked and confirmed by the VAR as Armstrong was in an offside position and deemed to be impacting Verbruggen’s ability to play the ball'.
