Alejandro Garnacho goal ruled out for one of the most bizarre offside calls

  /  autty

Alejandro Garnacho thought he had put Manchester United in front after slotting home a seamless forward move by the Red Devils to put them 2-1 up against Brighton.

But unfortunately Joshua Zirkzee found himself in the wrong place at the right time to get in the way of the shots trajectory and record one of the wildest offside calls ever witnessed.

Erik ten Hags men broke on the counter with Bruno Fernandes giving the ball to United's first half scorer Amad Diallo, who in turn drives up the pitch before returning the ball to his captain.

Fernandes then whips a ball across the the box, which misses Joshua Zirkzee but falls nicely for Garnacho who hits a whizzing ball towards goal.

The ball finds its way into the back of the net but to the dismay of Manchester United players and fans VAR intervened to tell a different story.

Before Garnacho shot on goal finds the back of the net, the ball hits off Zirkzee and deflects into the back of the net.

After VAR took a look at the repeats whilst the United players celebrated, they came to the conclusion that Zirkzee was offside so the goal was disallowed.

More to follow.
