Chris Sutton was left claiming that the "game's gone" when Antoine Semenyo had a second goal against Newcastle United ruled out by VAR.
The Sky Blues' latest signing gave his side the lead 53 minutes into the match from the centre of the box, tapping home Jeremy Doku's deflected cross from close range. The Ghanaian thought that he had doubled City's lead nine minutes later, connecting with Tijjani Reijnders' corner with his thigh and popping the ball past a floundering Nick Pope.
However, the forward's elation was short-lived, as VAR made the decision to intervene in the aftermath, checking a possible offside on Erling Haaland's front. While the Norwegian didn't touch the ball, he appeared to impede Malick Thiaw's ability to react to Semenyo's strike.
Referee Chris Kavanagh was invited by VAR to take a look at the incident on the pitch-side monitor, having awarded the goal at a first glance. And when he returned, his final decision was one of controversy.
Announcing his decision to rule Haaland as being offside, the official said: "After review, Manchester City number nine is in an offside position and impacts the ability of the defender. Final decision offside."
