Juventus: Was VAR wrong to disallow Arkadiusz Milik goal v Salernitana?

There were chaotic scenes at the end of Juventus vs Salernitana in Serie A on Sunday night.

Juve were 2-0 down at half-time and in danger of suffering a humiliating defeat, but Massimiliano Allegri’s side staged an impressive second-half comeback and equalised in the 93rd minute through Leonardo Bonucci.

More drama (a lot more drama) was to unfold moments later, however, when Arkadiusz Milik appeared to score the winning goal for Juve with a glancing header from a corner.

Milik threw his shirt away after sending the home supporters into raptures. Having previously been booked, though, the Poland international was sent off by referee Matteo Marcenaro.

The match official was then advised to check his pitch-side monitor by VAR and the goal was subsequently ruled out because Bonucci, who tried to head the ball but failed to make contact, was in an offside position.

An on-pitch brawl unfolded, leading to Salernitana’s Federico Fazio and Juventus’ Juan Cuadrado both receiving straight red cards. Allegri was also sent off.

It’s one of the craziest endings to a match we’ll see anywhere in Europe all season, and you can watch the footage here:

However, new images and footage have emerged which appears to suggest that VAR’s decision to rule out Milik’s winning goal was incorrect.
