Fans were outraged during Crystal Palace's clash with Everton, after VAR caused a three-minute delay following Jean-Philippe Mateta's equaliser against the Toffees.

The goal appeared to be clearly onside when looked at with a naked eye, but the VAR felt it necessary to take their time with the call.

One user wrote on X: 'VAR is embarrassing itself with decisions that shouldn’t take that long to make but end up taking ages. JP Mateta’s goal should be onside without 3-4 minutes of scrutiny.'

Another said: 'Pathetic how long this Mateta VAR check is taking.
