Man Utd boss Solskjaer: VAR should've overturned Everton goal

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was disappointed Everton's opening goal wasn't overturned by VAR.

David De Gea appeared to be obstructed by Dominic Calvert-Lewin at a corner, which eventually deflect off Victor Lindelof for an own-goal.

Speaking after the game, Solskjaer said: "I'm disappointed in that one by the referee [Michael Oliver]. I think it's a foul, especially in this day and age. Maybe in the eighties, it would have counted. He's got his elbow, his hand over David's shoulder, and an elbow in the face, so it's a foul.

"When I saw it, I was 100 per cent sure it would be overturned by VAR, so I ran down to the fourth official. I'm surprised they kicked off so soon."
