Man Utd VAR goal
Manchester United had a goal disallowed by VAR against Huddersfield in the FA Cup fifth round – but replays have baffled fans and experts alike.
Juan Mata raced through to scored United's second goal of the game, but referee Kevin Friend consulted the video assistant referee Neil Swarbrick.
The decision chalked off the goal due to Mata being in an offside position though images of the VAR footage have sparked outrage.
The computer-generated lines appeared to be out of sync with the pitch with close analysis suggesting that Mata's goal actually should have counted.
United didn't let the decision affect them, wrapping up a comfortable 2-0 victory thanks to a brace from Romelu Lukaku.
