VAR referees failed to award the goal to the Liverpool striker, after the referee disallowed it Simon Hooper who was in charge of directing the match, due to the non-existent offside.
The College of Premier League Referees (PGMOL) acknowledged that this was a “human error” after the referee in charge of VAR, Darren England, said “full check” without realizing that the goal was not allowed on the field.

PGMOL has split up England and Dan Cook, his VAR assistant, of the two Premier matches assigned to him: Nottingham-Brentford on Sunday and Fulham-Chelsea on Monday.

The ‘reds’ are already playing low because of the relegation Curtis Jones (26′) and, after making it 1-0 through Son, they leveled with a goal from Cody Gakpo before the break.
In the second half, Liverpool were left with nine when they also saw red Diogo Jota (69′) and he still remained until stoppage time he conceded 2-1 in an unfortunate game when he scored. Joel Matip own purpose
