The first decision was in the first half, immediately after Nunez’s opener. Gakpo had the ball in the back of the net but referee Paul Tierney blew the whistle for what he claimed was a foul by Nunez inside the box.
The VAR had a look at it and despite video evidence showing there was no contact from Nunez, it did not overturn the decision and the goal was not given.
The second decision came 10 minutes into the second half. Harvey Elliott scored first time from a Ryan Gravenberch cross from the right.
But the VAR referee Simon Hooper asked Paul Tierney to go to the pitch-side monitor to have a look at Salah offside.
As they played out the replay showing Salah in an offside position, what they did not show was that the Egyptian was pushed into an offside position by a Burnley player.The goal was ruled out again.
Liverpool fans were left furious with what they feel is blatant corruption from the PGMOL.
They have already lost 9 points from officiating errors this season. This includes the infamous Luis Diaz goal disallowed vs Spurs as well as handballs not given against Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal.
One Liverpool fan wrote: It’s Liverpool vs PGMOL this season. Corrupt organisation in the most corrupt league in the world.
