Brighton striker Neal Maupay fears goal celebrations will have to be stalled because of VAR.

Leandro Trossard scored for the Seagulls in Saturday's 1-1 draw with West Ham United, only for the goal to be retracted after the home crowd were sent into raptures.

"We need to get used to it now," said Maupay.

"After every goal we need to wait and make sure the referee says it IS a goal.

"It is kind of new for us but we need to get used to it now.

"It's a bit frustrating as a player because you know when you score that you have got to wait to celebrate. That kills emotions a bit."
