Everton had a 92nd-minute winner against Manchester United ruled out on Sunday afternoon. Dominic Calvert-Lewin thought he'd won the match with his second goal of the game, firing his shot into the bottom corner, past David de Gea. But the technology ruled out his strike due to Gylfi Sigurdsson being in an offside position.He never actually touched the ball but was judged to be 'obstructing' De Gea's view as he laid on the floor inside the six-yard box. It was a controversial call to say the least and it's no surprise Everton were fuming with VAR. The players were clearly upset and manager Carlo Ancelotti was sent off for his protests. None of that will change the decision, though. Soon after full-time, footage of Calvert-Lewin re-watching the disallowed goal in the tunnel emerged and he was shocked by the officiating. Check it out below:
"That is a disaster, oh my gosh, he's not even obstructing," the forward says while watching.
Let's be honest, we were all thinking it.

Controversial to say the least. Rather than blaming VAR, Sky Sports pundit Roy Keane questioned why Sigurdsson didn't get out of the way of the shot sooner.
"I'd be annoyed with Sigurdsson for not getting out of the way. He sits there, please tell me what he's waiting for," the former Man United captain said.
"You've got to try and clear the area. That's just a bit of common sense. I think [VAR made] the right decision. Listen, I can see why Everton are disappointed, but it's the correct call."
Keane has got a point, to be fair. But we can't really put all the blame on Sigurdsson for failing to react quickly enough - most of it lies with VAR in the eyes of Everton fans.
