All the latest news and analysis from Anfield on the Liverpool Echo's dedicated LFC Facebook pageDespite Baris Alper Yilmaz being in an offside position as the initial ball was played toward Konate, the winger had no part in the goal - leaving many fans with their eyebrows raised as to why the goal was chalked off. TNT Sports co-commentator Steve Sidwell, meanwhile, suggested that Yilmaz impacted Konate's attempts to regain possession and that was why the goal was overruled.Just a matter of moments later, Liverpool were on the other side of a controversial decision, after seemingly equalising from a scrappy corner.

Dominik Szoboszlai whipped the ball into the six-yard box with pace, before Konate seemingly atoned for his past mistake by knocking it into the back of the goal with his shoulder.However, VAR deemed that the ball had bounced off the arm of Konate, which subsequently ricocheted off the arm of Virgil van Dijk before crossing the goal line.
