On the Rest Is Football podcast, the former Match of the Day presenter said: "I wonder if it would have made a difference at all."I suspect not, but we'll never know because it's hypothetical if the Virgil van Dijk goal had been given because that would have made it 1-1, wouldn't it? I think, I mean, it was a bit of a harsh one."I mean, yes, he was in an offside position and yes, he ducked out the way, but I don't think he affected the goalkeeper at all.



I don't like it, and I agree with you, Gary."I think it's really, really harsh, and the referees have got a decision to make there. Until Sunday, fans can find discounts on products from Premier League clubs including Man United, Man City, Liverpool, Everton, Arsenal, Spurs and more."But I don't think he would have got there anyway.

So I think it's particularly harsh. Just simplify, if you're in an offside position, it's offside, it gets rid of all the debate, doesn't it?"But yeah, I do feel for Liverpool on that particular decision because it was, yeah, he wasn't going to get the ball, Donnarumma, so I understand."Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
