Former Premier League referee Jeff Winter criticised the time it took for VAR to reach their “no goal” verdict during Brighton’s 1-1 draw against Southampton. Flynn Downes had just cancelled out Kaoru Mitoma’s opener when Cameron Archer converted a cross from Saints substitute Ryan Fraser.

Southampton has been denied a priceless victory by a controversial VAR decision and ended up drawing with host Brighton 1-1 in the English Premier League.

Brighton take on Southampton on Friday, Nov. 29, at the Amex Stadium. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. GMT local time, making it a 3 p.m. ET or 12 p.m. PT start in the US and Canada, and a 7 a.m. AEDT kickoff in Australia in the early hours of Saturday morning.
