What people said as Southampton frustrate Brighton
Brighton & Hove Albion 1 - 1 Southampton
Brighton and Hove Albion were left frustrated as they missed the chance to secure a home win against bottom-of-the-table Southampton.
Kaoru Mitoma made the most of some sloppy defending by the Saints, heading Brighton into the lead midway through the first half.
The Internet responds to VAR controversy

As the video above suggests, one point could have so easily been three for Southampton.
After the match, Southampton boss Russell Martin was furious. He spoke with the media at full-time and said that VAR is a "big problem" if goals like this against Brighton are being disallowed.
So, what actually happened? Southampton’s Cameron Archer appeared to have put his side ahead, only for the goal to be chalked off when team-mate Adam Armstrong was deemed to be offside.
The controversial decision sparked plenty of debate, with fans and pundits questioning the extent of Armstrong's interference. It took over four minutes of VAR review before the final call was made.
Matthew, a Southampton fan, told us: "It was a terrible decision. That could be the difference between us staying up and getting relegated this season. All that being said though, our performance against a good Brighton side was very encouraging. Onwards and upwards."
