Brighton and Hove Albion striker Aaron Connolly was adamant VAR was correct to award the controversial penalty in their 3-2 win against Everton.

Albion were 2-1 down with just 12 minutes remaining when Everton defender Michael Keane made contact with Connolly's ankle in the box.

Referee Andy Madley didn't award the penalty but following a lengthy VAR check, a spot kick was given. It's the first time a penalty has been overturned by VAR in the Premier League this season.
