Manager unable to fathom disallowed goal in Europa League defeatBrendan Rodgers lamented the contentious VAR call that he believes cost his side the chance of landing a positive Europa League result against Braga.Kelechi Iheanacho’s strike early in the second half looked to have cancelled out Ricardo Horta’s opener only for the officials to decide that the striker had used an arm to control the ball before shooting. Whether it's in real time or slowed down, it's hit his face and he's away.“That for me is what VAR is about, to correct the wrong decision.

I think if you're looking at that, even if you look at it once, twice, and I'm assuming the guys in the VAR will have watched it more than that, because of the time it took, there's absolutely no way from every angle you look at that he's touched it [with his arm]. And that's a big moment in the game for us.“I think it's very clear if you watch it - it's a mistake by the referee.

So, yes, we're just in a spell now and it's my responsibility.“I need to somehow find the solutions to that because we haven't been scoring. We've got into some good areas and the keeper’s made some good saves, but we still need to be more aggressive in our attacking play.”Braga’s opener midway through the first half should have been dealt with better by Kasper Schmeichel, the goalkeeper beaten from a speculative shot from around 35 yards out.The Dane also looked shaky with some of his passing and clearances and Rodgers revealed the pair would have a chat about it all.He added: “Kasper has made some great saves for us.
