VAR deemed Southampton’s Mateus Fernandes had fouled Wolves’ Nelson SemedoThe left-back’s goal was awarded on-field but VAR deemed that the scorer’s team-mate 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.
One fan tweeted: “Sorry, but how the f**k is that goal disallowed? There’s no foul there from Southampton, if anything the foul’s the other way round.”
Another commented: “Absolute b******s!”
A third wrote: “Absolutely shambolic that’s been given as a Wolves free-kick.”
This fan said: “Hilariously pathetic VAR overturn there. Truly a disgrace to the sport, how does anyone want this.”

And that one stated: “That’s possibly the worst VAR decision I’ve ever seen.”
Southampton found themselves trailing against fellow Premier League strugglers Wolves after just two minutes when Pablo Sarabia opened the scoring.
Things got even worse for Russel Martin’s side on 51 minutes when Matheus Cunha doubled his team’s lead.
Southampton need a result against Gary O’Neil’s side as they are both looking for a way out of the bottom three in the English top flight.
