However, VAR ruled out the goal for offside, which appeared to spark a conflict between Bailey and Watkins.

Bailey was spotted gesturing angrily towards Watkins before being intercepted by Luiz.

The Brazilian midfielder grabbed the Jamaican and tried to stop him from continuing his blast towards Watkins.
