What score is it? 2-1?

Yep
From bbc

Lurking at the back stick. Sergio Aguero's on the scoresheet if he survives a VAR check.

More as we get it.... he's scored... it counts.

It looked like João Cancelo's arm may have strayed offside but it doesn't and his volley across goal was turned home from an acute angle by Aguero thanks to a deflection off Leon Legge.

Normal order restored.

I'm sure I heard the guy in the VAR box tut, when he realised he was too far onside.

You are correct, he seemed crestfallen.

Great move, come on fellas, I'd take 2-1 now to be honest,

What against against Port Vale .. Fuck me we are a pessimistic lot but this is beyond the pale .....

Had to laugh at Aguero. He looked like someone had pissed on his chips. VAR is ruining the game. Taking away the joy of celebrating a goal.

What score is it? 2-1?

0-0. VAR has ruled them all out at HT.

Co-commentator doesn’t understand the offside rule. Claiming that Foden’s hand was offside...

 

[SebastianBlue]

I am absolutely convinced Sergio didn’t celebrate because he was waiting for VAR to find a reason to disallow the goal.

I guess it is the old adage of one shot on target = goal

I guess so but he can't take the blame for that goal at all

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

I don't recall ever seeing Angelino stop a single cross since he's been back with us, no?

Liverpool, Shakhtar and today, for a supposed full back, he doesn't feel the need to get a stretch on!

 

[brummie blue]

Did Sergio put it in or did it come off the defender before it crossed the line?

 

[blueinsa]

How? What has he done wrong today?

Stood rooted to the spot, about a yard to the left of the centre of his goal as the ball is crossed meaning he isnt in any position to stop a header that doesnt even go in corner.

He is absolutely fucking rubbish.

Basic stuff for any goalkeeper, never mind an international or one at our level.
