The angles involved there were almost identical to that ball he magnificently left in the dying seconds of their match against Olympiacos to dump them out of the Europa League (the last 5 minutes of which I might or might not have watched several times).

Still struggle to understand how clubs have spent over £110m on transfer fees for David Luiz.

How can Bundesliga games have fans noise spot on and Premier League have noise from FIFA 96?

Full statement from the PGMOL about the goal not given.

Aston Villa v Sheffield United
Goal line incident – 42’


Hawkeye statement

During the first half of Aston Villa v Sheffield United match at Villa Park, there was a goal line incident where the ball was carried over the line by Aston Villa goalkeeper, No. 25 Nyland. The match officials did not receive a signal to the watch nor earpiece as per the Goal Decision System (GDS) protocol. The seven cameras located in the stands around the goal area were significantly occluded by the goalkeeper, defender, and goalpost. This level of occlusion has never been seen before in over 9,000 matches that the Hawk-Eye Goal Line Technology system has been in operation.

The system was tested and proved functional prior to the start of the match in accordance with the IFAB Laws Of The Game and confirmed as working by the match officials. The system has remained functional throughout. Hawk-Eye unreservedly apologises to the Premier League, Sheffield United, and everyone affected by this incident.

PGMOL statement

Under the IFAB protocol, the VAR is able to check goal situations, however due to the fact that the on-field match officials did not receive a signal, and the unique nature of that, the VAR did not intervene.

In other words a massive cock up that could cost Sheffield Utd millions.
