Ayew evaluates VAR decision in late winner

Jordan Ayew scored his third goal of the season this evening against West Ham United, but, were it not for a decision by VAR, he may not have been celebrating at all.

Late in the game, the Ghanaian striker found the back of the net only for the refereeing team to discount it for offside. After a lengthy wait, however, VAR adjudged Ayew and his teammates to have in fact been onside and so the goal stood.

Speaking post-match, Ayew reflected on the decision, saying that he felt he was onside and was told by the linesman that it was Martin Kelly they felt was not.
