So var cock it up big time for Brighton, they drew the line from the wrong defender and called it offside,when it should have been y different defender who would have played the player on.
Now considering where Brighton are in the league they might miss out on a champions League position at the end of the season ,all because some useless idiot got it wrong and ultimately cost Brighton millions.
Criticise the decision by all means, but there's no way to tell what might have been if the goal had been allowed - as it wasn't the last play of the game!

Great work from Shaw for that first goal, and wonderful finish by Garnacho for the second. A bit of a smash and grab this.

That goal Weghorst scored at end. DOD it really come off Maguire, to make him offside? Looked like it came off defender, and VAR then just looked at still photo. Only saw replay once.

Clinical finishing at end of day. Another header from Rashford. Happy days

It hit off the defenders arm after Maguire headed it, surely it’s a goal 🤷🏻‍♂️

Very similar performance to midweek, the only difference being Leeds did not make the most of our wastefulness in possession.

Another win in the sort of game we have been dropping points in for years. Onwards and upwards.

I didn't even think Maguire headed it at all, thought he completely missed it

That good old VAR consistency again. I’m almost tempted to say if Weghorst had the name “Salah” on the back of his shirt it would have been given. But that would just be plain petty of me.

Good to see the ref booking players for surrounding him demanding the player is booked

Grealish throwing his leg back to win the penalty

Great work from Haaland for their second goal

Not sure how Grealish threw his leg back. He was simply running like any other human being, the defender clipped his back leg, penalty. Even Gary Neville is jumping on the "Jack Grealish playing for foul" bandwagon now. Any other player, it is just a penalty, defender was clumsy.

I don't mind if refs are going to book players for surrounding him. Except that it is just completely random. You'll get players randomly sent off, like yesterday, based on a random decision. If they are going to do it, book every player that surrounds them.
