The Premier League Match Centre explained on X: ‘The referee’s call of no goal was checked and confirmed by the VAR as Armstrong was in an offside position and deemed to be impacting Verbruggen’s ability to play the ball’.
Why Cameron Archer’s Southampton Goal Vs Brighton Was Disallowed
It has been confirmed by the Premier League Match Centre that Cameron Archer’s goal to put Southampton ahead against Brighton was ruled out for offside in the build-up. Archer believed he had given the Saints a crucial lead at the Amex Stadium with a cushioned volley at the back post with less than 25 minutes to go.
Although a VAR review confirmed that the former Sheffield United man was onside, the goal was still disallowed. The video assistant concluded that Archer’s teammate, Adam Armstrong, had interfered with play while in an offside position by impeding goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen’s ability to play the ball.
