Max Meyer goal ruled out by VAR’s ‘dreaded new armpit law’ despite lines on pitch being inseparable – The Sun

THE wrong arm of the law? Wilfried Zaha became the latest victim of VAR'S "dreaded new armpit law" – sparking more fury on social media.

Replays ruled Crystal Palace attacker Zaha offside when he brilliantly teed up Max Meyer's 14th minute opener at Southampton.

Tottenham striker Harry Kane had a Boxing Day strike erased for a similar margin, as did Liverpool's Roberto Firmino against Aston Villa last month.

And after Zaha's misfortune today, BBC pundit Gary Lineker tweeted: "The dreaded new armpit law strikes again.

"Meyer’s goal for @CPFC ruled out by VAR. Zaha deemed to be offside when it’s really impossible to say one way or the other. What’s happened to level being onside. It’s ludicrous."

Many fans agreed as they slated the the string of narrow judgements.

One supporter said: "This wasn't what VAR was brought in to do…. It was supposed to eradicate significant injustice not turn the sport into a turgid computer game."

Another argued: "VAR slowly but surely killing the game for the true fans."
