Gross was ruled offside as he dropped back to receive Leandro Trossard’s pass.
A relatively brief VAR check confirmed the decision.

Gross was left waiting for his first goal of the campaign, having scored in each of his four previous Prem seasons.
But it was easy to wonder whether that wait should now be over.
