Cundy then remarked: “He's missed a chance, wait until you see this, he's at the back post, he's on his left foot, the goal is gaping, he's slipping off the end of his toe, he's not getting good contact, when he hits.” the goal, it is a goal.

“But he misses the post and you think, 'Will he be one of the losers?'

“Well, no, he manages to get from the losers group into the winners group pretty well with the last header of the game.”

Cameron Archer thought he had shot Russell Martin's men forward, but the VAR concluded an offside player Adam Armstrong was in the field of vision of Seagulls goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen.

Commenting on the incident, Cundy said: “According to the letter of the law, Archer's goal was disallowed because Armstrong was in an offside position.”

“An offside position on the pitch is not a crime in itself. You can be offside in an offside position if you take action.”

“And VAR considered that Armstrong became active when he tried to pass the ball off his heel when the ball was behind him.”

“Personally, I think the goal should stand, but they chose the letter of the law.

“Did he try to touch the ball? You have to say yes, but then they try to say it hit Verbruggen, I don’t believe that because the ball was behind Armstrong.”
