Fingers point to video assistant referee (VAR) in denying Liverpool a deserved victory in the Merseyside summit with leaders Everton, in the match that ended in a dramatic 2-2 draw, in the fifth round of the English Premier League.
The controversial cases began with Liverpool defender Virgil Van Dyck being deprived of a penalty kick in the tenth minute, after interference by Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, who was deserving of a penalty kick with his dismissal for violent play that led to Van Dyck's substitution after leaving the stadium injured.
This picture is very difficult You prefer a major controversy track these days and for several years.
If someone asked you after years, what did the referee count? You
would say nothing to him It
is strange and weird and the victim is the club players # Liverpool_Everton pic.twitter.com/ukt4eOjtTk

With an analytical look, we find that there is no offense against Van Dyck, who was not an offside, at a time when the goalkeeper - who did not play on the ball or touched it - committed an offense violently obstructing the opponent inside the penalty area, and requires direct expulsion as the picture shows.
The mouse committed the second mistake in the second minute of stoppage time and the result was a 2-2 draw, when captain Jordan Henderson canceled the winning goal for Liverpool on the pretext of infiltrating the passer, Sadio Mane.
WOW.
Pickford is a lucky, lucky man… VAR to the rescue. # EFC #LFC pic.twitter.com/7I8SCYc9kh

The truth - as shown in the picture - is that the goal is correct, and there is no doubt about the existence of offside, as Mane was the moment the ball passed to him from Alcantara in one line with Everton's defenders, knowing that offside with a part of the body was canceled this year, and the arms are not They are significant in calculating offside.
