Brighton and Hove Albion forward Aaron Connolly insists he was fouled by Michael Keane as Saturday's VAR controversy at the Amex Stadium continues.
Everton were leading 2-1 courtesy of goals from Richarlison and substitute Dominic Calvert-Lewin when Connolly went down in the area under pressure from Keane.
Despite referee Andy Madley not initially awarding a foul, VAR overturned the decision and the hosts went on to win the game 3-2.
“I would say it was a penalty," Connolly told the Brighton and Hove Independent . "[Keane] has come right down on my foot, whether or not he is looking I think it is penalty personally. VAR obviously thought that as well, so we have got the penalty.

"If he doesn’t come down on me I get onto the ball at least, so he has taken that chance, so it is a penalty.”
Brighton manager Graham Potter refused to comment on the incident, adding: "It was an important moment to get the equaliser and there was a feeling in stadium for us to push on and get the win.
"I haven't seen replays of the penalty. We have had a few that have not gone our way recently. We have earned a bit of luck. We didn't play our best and it was a tough match. We had to dig deep."
