Tammy Abraham's goal for Aston Villa was disallowed by VAR after the ball was deemed to have gone out of play in the build-up - but was there conclusive evidence?
Abraham thought he had marked his Villa return with the equaliser against Brentford in a game that Unai Emery's side went on to lose 1-0.
But a lengthy VAR followed, eventually determining Leon Bailey had carried the ball out of play 19 seconds before the goal was scored.
Referee Tim Robinson said the ball was "factually out of play" but was there conclusive footage to confirm it had crossed the line completely?
"I think it is not fair," Emery said after the game. "The referee is not watching it.
"Maybe there are a lot of actions and circumstances that can change a goal. I accept it completely. For me it is not fair, but I accept it."
