It’s fair to say footballers and pundits alike were left a little baffled by the VAR team’s decision to not award a penalty to Liverpool.
Diogo Jota’s tweet more than summed up the collective feeling in the fanbase as the Reds were denied an opportunity to put another three points on the board.

Jeremy Doku bizarrely escaped punishment for a challenge Jurgen Klopp described as ‘ a penalty for all football people on the planet’.
The Echo have since reported that VAR believed the Belgian to have played the ball when going into the challenge on Alexis Mac Allister.
To that, we’d respond with the words of Jurgen Klopp: “He can only hit the ball because his foot is right there. Yeah they say ‘hit the ball’. But if the ball is not there he kills him, so the foot has nothing to do with it.”
