Liverpool controversially saw a goal ruled out against Manchester City on Sunday, and former Manchester United defender Gary Neville disagreed with the officials. Liverpool responded after 39 minutes as Virgil van Dijk headed home from a Mohamed Salah corner, but the assistant referee then raised his flag for offside.

Liverpool protested, confused as to why Van Dijk was offside from a corner, but the official claimed that defender Andy Robertson was standing in an offside position. Former Premier League goalkeeper Tim Howard also admitted on USA Network that the goal should have been awarded.

The Premier League explained why Van Dijk's goal had been canceled on X. "The referee's call of offside and no goal to Liverpool was checked and confirmed by VAR – with Robertson in an offside position and deemed to be making an obvious action directly in front of the goalkeeper."
