Why Everton Goal vs Manchester United Was Disallowed By VAR

Everton were furious that Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s late goal against Manchester United was ruled out by VAR officials.

PGMOL have confirmed that VAR ruled out Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s goal against Manchester United as Gylfi Sigurdsson was offside and directly impacted David de Gea ‘s ability to make a save.

The United shot stopper made a fantastic save to keep the scores level but Everton had the rebound in the back of the net.

Calvert-Lewin fired a low shot past a crowd of United defenders and Sigurdsson – who was still on the ground from the earlier phase of play – managed to lift his feet out the way of the deflected effort.

The goal was awarded by on-field referee Chris Kavanagh but it was chalked out shortly after following a VAR review which frustrated the home crowd and Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti.

Their statement reads: “In the 91st minute of Everton v Manchester United, Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s goal was disallowed following a VAR Review for an offside against Gylfi Sigurdsson.

“The on-field decision was to award the goal, but the VAR advised the referee that Sigurdsson was in an offside position directly in the line of vision of David de Gea and made an obvious action that impacted de Gea’s ability to make a save.”

Former Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane gave his opinion on the decision following the game.

He believes United would have felt aggrieved to lose two points by such a goal.

Keane told Sky Sports: “I think he was in-line with the ball and I don’t think De Gea would have saved it.

“If it was allowed I think we would have had Ole on the pitch speaking to the referee.

“Sigurdsson should have gotten out of the way and I can see why Everton are disappointed but I do think they got the right decision.”

TRIBUTE TO PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI, GCFR With a deeply heavy heart and profound sense of personal loss, I join millions of Nigerians and friends around the world to mourn the passing of our former President, Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR. I extend my heartfelt condolences to his beloved wife, Hajiya Aisha Buhari, his children, and his entire extended family. I also condole with the government and people of Katsina State, especially the Daura Emirate, where President Buhari’s journey in life began — a town whose name has become inextricably linked with his legacy. President Buhari’s record of service to Nigeria is almost unparalleled. From the battlefield to the ballot box, he stood as a sentinel of duty. As a military officer, Head of State, and twice-elected President, he offered over five decades of his life to the service of our nation in times of strife and in peaceful times — guided always by a belief in discipline, integrity, and nationhood. What often went unnoticed in public commentary was his unwavering commitment to the core values that bind any serious society: order, punctuality, and accountability. He did not just talk about these values; he lived them. He was perhaps the most punctual public servant I ever encountered — never late to cabinet meetings, always respecting the time of others. It may seem a small thing, but in governance, it is everything. It sets a tone. He had a deep yearning for a society governed by rules, not by impulse. This found early expression in his War Against Indiscipline, a campaign often misread as rigid but rooted in a desire to rebuild a citizenry of order, courtesy, and civic responsibility. I feel privileged to have served in his cabinet — first in the consolidated Ministry of Power, Works and Housing, and later in the restructured Ministry of Works and Housing. President Buhari was not a man to micromanage; instead, he gave you the space and the trust to deliver. With that trust, however, came the highest expectations of discipline, results, and honesty. He had a quiet strength. Yet, within and outside the cabinet, I witnessed his compassion — his deep concern for the poor, the pensioner, the soldier in the trenches, the almajiri child, and the underserved in every part of this country. Under his leadership, the nation confronted formidable challenges: insurgency, economic volatility, a global pandemic, and deep political tension. Yet he remained consistent — never ruled by noise or poll ratings, only by the burden of responsibility and his belief in posterity’s judgment. His death marks the end of a defining chapter in Nigeria’s journey — one marked by sacrifice, moral authority, and patriotic resolve. But even in death, President Muhammadu Buhari leaves behind a living legacy: one of service above self, of discipline without drama, of truth without theatrics. May the Almighty Allah (SWT), whom he served with devotion and humility, forgive his shortcomings and grant him eternal rest in Aljannah Firdaus. Adieu, Mai Gaskiya as you were fondly referred to. Nigeria salutes you. Signed, Babatunde Raji Fashola, SAN CON
