​Brighton star Trossard: VAR makes ruins celebrations

Brighton star Leandro Trossard admits that it is difficult for him to celebrate goals because of VAR.

The Seagulls had a goal canceled out (correctly) by VAR in a 2-0 loss to Southampton this weekend.

A similar incident happened a week ago, when Trossard's volley was ruled out by the video referee.

He spoke about how the introduction of the technology has changed his mindset.

Trossard said to reporters: "I knew not to celebrate after last week and I could tell by the players' reactions that something wasn't right and it was clear they were going to review it.

"We haven't had luck with VAR decisions so far but we must accept that and fight for a positive result and not let it affect our performance.

"We reacted very well to the sending off (of Florin Andone) and disallowed goal - if we maintain that level, then the luck will come our way along with the wins."
