Rooney says VAR got Palace's second goal wrong against Forest
Wayne Rooney said on BBC's Match of the Day that VAR made the wrong call in allowing Crystal Palace's second goal in a Premier League match against Nottingham Forest. Palace won the game 3-1 at home.
Crystal Palace beat Nottingham Forest 3-1 at home in the Premier League, England's top-flight football competition. The talking point was Palace's second goal, which put the home side in front for the first time.
Speaking on Match of the Day, the BBC's Premier League highlights programme, Wayne Rooney said VAR made the wrong decision in awarding that goal. VAR, or video assistant referee, is the system that lets officials review contentious moments in a match.
Rooney went on to say it was time to call it a day with VAR. His comments are one pundit's opinion on the incident rather than an official ruling.
Why it matters
VAR decisions regularly spark debate because they can shape the course and result of a game. In this match, the second goal gave Palace the lead, and the team went on to win 3-1.
