Coventry City fans are convinced that new footage from Wembley Stadium proves their extra-time goal against Manchester United was wrongfully ruled out for offside.
The dramatic incident occurred in the 121st minute of the FA Cup semi-final, with Coventry trailing 3-2. Haji Wright appeared to be through on goal and squared the ball for Victor Torp to tap home. However, VAR ruled Wright offside by the narrowest of margins, much to the dismay of Coventry players and fans.
Now, a new video filmed from the stands has emerged, which appears to show that Wright was actually onside. The video shows Wright making his run behind Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and it appears that the Coventry forward was level with the Manchester United defender when the ball was played.
If the new footage is accurate, it would mean that the VAR decision was incorrect and that Coventry should have been awarded a goal. This would have sent the game to penalties, and Coventry would have had a chance to reach the FA Cup final for the first time since 1979.
The decision has sparked controversy on social media, with many fans questioning the use of VAR in football. Some fans have even alleged that the decision was rigged to allow Manchester United and Manchester City to play each other in the final.
Manchester United went on to win the penalty shootout 4-2 and will now face Manchester City in the final at Wembley Stadium on May 19th.
