After an on-field review, the referee overturned the original decision and the goal was disallowed because…..”- Shocking Reason Why VAR Disallowed Nikola Milenkovic’s Goal in Forest vs Southampton Revealed
Nottingham Forest secured a 3-2 victory over Southampton, though the scoreline didn’t fully reflect the overall flow of the match.
By halftime, Forest were in control with a 3-0 lead at the City Ground. Elliot Anderson scored his first goal for Forest, followed by Callum Hudson-Odoi and Chris Wood, who sealed the game for the hosts.
Hudson-Odoi was forced off with an injury towards the end of the first half, and Southampton pulled a goal back from a corner early in the second half. Nikola Milenkovic thought he had extended the lead to 4-1, but his goal was controversially ruled out by VAR, much to the frustration of the home crowd.
The visitors managed to make it 3-2 in the 90th minute, which set up a tense final stretch that included 12 minutes of stoppage time and a crucial goal-line clearance from Ola Aina.
The disallowed goal from Milenkovic caused considerable confusion, but the Premier League has since clarified the decision. They explained that VAR reviewed the original goal and determined that Chris Wood had interfered with play while being in an offside position. After a pitch-side review, the referee overturned the goal.
Sky Sports pundit Dean Ashton highlighted the importance of Forest’s defensive pair, Milenkovic and Murillo, to their success. He praised their partnership, suggesting they play at a Champions League level, and emphasized that, barring injuries, they could help Forest achieve European qualification.
With each game passing and points accumulating, the possibility of a return to the Champions League for Forest is becoming increasingly plausible.
