Nogometaši Sheffield Uniteda so bili z razlogom jezni po prvem polčasu zaostale tekme Premierlige proti Aston Villi, saj jim glavni sodnik tekme Michael Oliver ni priznal očitnega zadetka, kljub temu da bi morala v Premierligi delovati VAR in tehnologija golove črte.
Gosti bi namreč morali povesti v 43. minuti, ko je po predložku Oliverja Norwooda vratar Aston Ville Orjan Nyland z žogo nespretno pristal v lastnih vratih, žoga pa je očitno prečkala golovo črto.
Where is both VAR and Goal-line technology when you need it?

Številni posnetki ter fotografije so nato potrdile, da je bil Sheffield United resnično oškodovan, saj sta tako VAR, kot tehnologija gol-linije ostala nema, čeprav je žoga s celotnim obsegom prečkala gol-črto.
Twitter je seveda nemudoma ponorel po novem premierligaškem sodniškem spodrsljaju, oglasila pa se je tudi PR služba Sheffield Uniteda, ki je lahko čivknila le: "Resno?"
Really?

Fair play to Aston Villa for getting to half-time at 0-0 and not making any excuses but how goal line technology watching this from multiple angles several times comes to the conclusion that this isn’t a goal baffles me. pic.twitter.com/elhEhtWGYQ
