James Tomkins said he was hesitant to celebrate after Max Meyer turned home early into Crystal Palace's clash with Southampton today, and now the German midfielder has revealed he also had a feeling that VAR would disallow his effort against the Saints.
Speaking with Palace TV post-match, Palace's No.7 said: "[I was] very disappointed. I had a feeling when I scored the goal that the referee would check and, yeah, it needed two minutes and I knew he’d take the goal away. I’m frustrated."
Discussing his new role on the right of Palace's midfield in the heat of an injury crisis, Meyer said that while he was not used to occupying such a position, he is determined to work hard for the team and perform to his utmost wherever he plays.
