incredible goal controversially ruled by VAR

There has been a lot of discussion about the three-minute VAR tape for Scott McTominay’s goal that was disallowed against Fulham.

A third person said, “Killing the game. Just stop there and let the goal if the referee calls a goal and they are only able to determine an infringement by looking at the offside line forensically. Nobody would voice a complaint.
