SOUTHAMPTON fans are furious after VAR overruled Ryan Manning’s opener against Wolves.

Saints thought they broke the deadlock after only 12 minutes when Manning, 28, smashed the ball past goalkeeper Jose Sa and into his top left corner.

The left-back’s goal was awarded on-field but VAR deemed that Mateus Fernandes had fouled Nelson Semedo in the build-up.

The officials at Stockley Park then advised referee Thomas Bramall to check the monitor for an on-field review.

Bramall agreed with VAR and overturned his original decision, thus restarting the match with a free-kick for the hosts at Molineux.

Southampton fans were left incensed as they stormed social media to lambast the controversial decision.
