The law states…’ – Ex-PGMOL chief weighs in over controversial moment in Liverpool defeat
Liverpool were hard done by over one major decision in their 3-2 defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.
There was controversy over the home side’s second goal in the 14th minute as, from Freddie Woodman’s initial save, the ball bounced off Benjamin Sesko’s groin and then onto his fingertips before crossing the goalline.
Arne Slot was understandably pleading the case for handball on the touchline, but the goal was allowed to stand after a VAR check, and it ultimately proved a pivotal call given the final scoreline.
