Fans reacts after Brighton star, Mitoma goal against Tottenham was disallowed for ‘handball’ after VAR review

Kaoru Mitoma's goal against Tottenham was disallowed by VAR, leaving BRIGHTON supporters furious.

In the 16th minute of the match in North London, the Japanese winger seized a through pass from the air and shot past Hugo Lloris.

Although Brighton trailed the North London team following Son Heung-spectacular min's goal in the 10th minute, it would have been a significant goal.

Nevertheless, Mitoma's goal was disallowed because VAR determined that he had used his arm to control the ball.

Replays seemed to show that the ball struck his chest rather than his arm, and South Coast side supporters were furious with the decision.

When Cristian Romero pushed the attacker before he got to the ball, some even claimed that Brighton should have been awarded a penalty.

Lewis Dunk, a defender for Brighton, scored a goal after being left unattended during a corner kick.

Technical difficulties caused the game's start to be delayed, and before it began, the two opposing managers, Cristian Stellini and Roberto De Zerbi, seemed to be arguing on the touchline.

One fan tweeted: "Wonderful goal from Mitoma ruled out for handball, outrageous decision to rule it out."

A second commented: "This is outrageous… Romero pushed Mitoma and you can argue it was more chest than arm + the missed handball from earlier."

A third wrote: "It’s a penalty if not a goal, Romero clearly pushed Mitoma lol."

Another said: "Mitoma goal should've stood btw.
