FIFA has just announced VERY SAD NEWS for the Officials and Referees of the match between Manchester United vs Brighton and this have cost them thier Job after not awarding a clear goal calling it Offside
The second goal that Manchester United scored against Brighton was disallowed due to a spectacular offside violation.
On minute 70, Alejandro Garnacho appeared at the back post to tap in a cross from Bruno Fernandes, giving United the impression that they had seized a 2-1 lead.
For the second time in a week, the Argentinian came off the bench to celebrate after claiming the goal, and his teammates followed suit.
The ball did, however, take a touch off Joshua Zirkzee, another replacement; the question is whether the Dutchman touched it before it crossed the line.
Replays in slow motion demonstrated that Zirkzee’s knee was within a hair’s breadth of the line.
To make matters worse, VAR had to declare him offside and nullify the goal since he was just ahead of Garnacho when he took the shot.

In a tweet from their Match Center account, the Premier League explained their reasoning: “Zirkzee’s goal was given on-field.
“The VAR disallowed the goal after examining Zirkzee for possible offside. Brighton’s free-kick allowed [the referee] to restart play.”
Former United striker Danny Welbeck scored his 100th goal in a career goal to put Erik ten Hag’s team down early in the first half.
Amad Diallo, who was starting in the Premier League for the first time this season, subsequently gave United the equalizer.
Joao Pedro, unmarked in the penalty box after a Brighton cross, headed the ball into the bottom left corner past Andre Onana, causing Ten Hag and United to suffer a late heartbreak.
