Bellingham denied! Jude's brother Jobe has goal inexplicably ruled out by dreadful offside call in Sunderland's clash with West Brom - but there's no VAR in the Championship

With the clock ticking over into the 16th minute of the game, Bellingham pounced on an Alex Palmer parry to stick home what he thought was the opening goal of the game between Sunderland and West Brom. However, the goal was ruled out by the linesman after he incorrectly judged Bellingham to be offside - despite Cedric Kipre playing the young star well onside.

Should Sunderland not win their game against West Brom, they will have every right to complain. There is no VAR in the Championship and the Black Cats will be ruing the absence of technology. Despite the form of Bellingham, Jack Clarke and Patrick Roberts, Sunderland have struggled for consistent goals and are without a manager after sacking Tony Mowbray. They sit just outside the playoff spots and know every decision and point lost could be devastating in the race for promotion.

Jobe Bellingham has his first name, 'Jobe', on the back of his shirt, rather than his surname, 'Bellingham'. This is to separate his career from his superstar older brother - despite Jude's constant support.

Sunderland face Leeds on Tuesday night in one of their hardest fixtures of the season. The Black Cats will be hoping to avoid any further refereeing controversies.
