Harry Kane thought he'd given Tottenham the lead against Chelsea, until referee Paul Tierney cut his celebrations short.
England captain Kane collected a low cross from Ryan Sessegnson, before turning and firing past Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga.
The only problem though was Tierney spotted a foul in the build-up to the goal.
As Kane controlled the ball from Sessesgnon, the striker put an arm on Thiago Silva's back before slotting into the back of the net.
That arm in the back was judged to have been a push, as Silva was sent sprawling to the floor.
Gary Neville though was left in disbelief at the decision, saying on punditry duty for Sky Sports: "That is not a foul. No chance.
"I mean look there's an arm there from Harry Kane, but that is not a foul for me."
And fans on social media agreed, as one fumed: "The game is gone if that’s a foul."
While another said: "Harry Kane has been robbed of a goal."
It's after Liverpool were awarded a controversial penalty earlier in their game against Crystal Palace, as fans on social media lamented both decisions.
