Bayern Munich President Uli Hoeness Calls Disallowed Goal 'The Joke of the Year'

Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness has described the decision to disallow Leon Goretzka's goal against RB Leipzig on Saturday in the Bundesliga as "the joke of the year."

Goretzka fired home from inside the penalty early in the second half, but the goal was chalked off after referee Manuel Grafe had consulted the VAR, leaving Hoeness unimpressed with the decision, per Goal's Sean Wilson.

He said: "The so-called offside is the joke of the year, it was not a clear wrong decision, the VAR is there to correct clear wrong decisions.
