Brighton players were caught completely off-guard by a lesser-known VAR rule...

A bizarre VAR rule denied Brighton a final chance to score in their 3-2 defeat against Chelsea, adding to players' frustrations after being denied a penalty.
Chelsea roared into a two-goal lead thanks to goals from Enzo Fernandez and Levi Colwill, but were reduced to 10 men and faced constant pressure from Brighton in the second half.
Brighton were denied a penalty after VAR judged that Colwill had not handled the ball late in the game, and were then denied a corner at the restart because of a VAR rule.
