VAR Review: Explaining the offside drama in Liverpool vs. Wolves (ESPN)

Liverpool and Wolverhampton Wanderers played out a 2-2 draw in the third round of the FA Cup at Anfield. This is what happened with VAR.

[Liverpool](/soccer/team?id=364) took the lead in the 52nd minute when he [Cody Gakpo](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/249524/Cody-Gakpo) tried to find [Mohamed Salah](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/173896/Mohamed-Salah) with a ball over the top. Dean decided not to intervene in the on-field decision to allow the goal. There is no doubt Salah is in an offside position, but if the officials judge Toti's actions to be a "deliberate play", Salah cannot be penalised or offside. There are many factors which are taken into account, and an attempted header is judged more in favour of the defender than a kick. The VAR, Mike Dean, had to go with the decision of the assistant because there were no definitive calibrated camera angles to show the position of Nunes and the last defender when Hwang heads the ball. [Liverpool](/soccer/team?id=364) and [Wolverhampton Wanderers](/soccer/team?id=380) played out a 2-2 draw in the third round of the FA Cup at Anfield, but there were two controversial offside decisions.

Liverpool v Wolves: FA Cup third round – live (The Guardian)

Minute-by-minute report: Will Liverpool defend their FA Cup crown this season? First up, they'll have to beat Wolves. Join Sarah Rendell.

[Liverpool](https://www.theguardian.com/football/liverpool) are being patient on the ball and are slowly building, Wolves are trying to press them but it’s not too aggressive. [Liverpool](https://www.theguardian.com/football/liverpool) get it in their box and Salah almost wrestles the ball off of Jonny but the player manages, just, to keep it. [Liverpool](https://www.theguardian.com/football/liverpool) manage to work it back upfield and Salah pings it into the box. Liverpool are not having the best season and do look out of sorts from their form in the last few years but it would still be a slight upset if they were knocked out by Wolves this evening. 8 min: Robertson loses the ball in a dangerous spot but Jimenez can’t be found in the box, that was close to an opener. Right now Wolves are trying to get a hold into the match but it is all 30 min: Alexander-Arnold tries to find Robertson but has too much on it, Konate does his best to keep it in play but it is out for a goal kick. It comes to Henderson who launches it in the air and out of play. Nunez does well on the edge of the box but Collins does well to get rid of the threat. [Liverpool](https://www.theguardian.com/football/liverpool) are building here, trying to find their equaliser. And Zuni has said: “Klopp’s stubborn attachment to the same old tired players “the strongest team” is a joke. Or can Wolves get back in the lead to take the win?

Guardiola contacts former Liverpool star to get approval for first Man ... (Teamtalk.com)

Man City are closing in on their first January signing after Fabrizio Romano revealed Pep Guardiola has received a reference from a former Liverpool star.

Still, City want to ensure they have a strong squad for the present and the future. The deal could be worth a transfer fee in the region of £6.6million. Guardiola’s side have been on the trail of Velez Sarsfield starlet, Maximo Perrone. January isn’t always the busiest month for the biggest clubs, who already have settled squads. Romano has previously reported that City have a first-team role in mind for him, and will not be loaning him out to one of their sister clubs. The midfielder was also on the radar of Newcastle, but City seem to have pulled into pole position.

The images VAR didn't see of Wolves' disallowed winner at ... (The Athletic)

A frustrated Julen Lopetegui took evidence into the officials' room after Wolves' "winner" was controversially ruled out at Anfield.

“From the footage and the image I didn’t even know it was me. “I’m honestly sick and tired of the offside rule that allowed Salah’s goal,” wrote Karl Henry. “Wolves were robbed,” wrote Dave Edwards. At the moment the ball leaves Hwang’s head, Matheus cannot be seen. Unfortunately, only pressure from current players and coaches will force their hand.” While Dean is an easy target, it appears the main errors on Saturday lay elsewhere. “We have talked with the referee,” said Lopetegui. “He was polite to hear us. More or less I showed him that we think this goal was valid. Sources at ITV, who had 17 cameras at Anfield — more than the standard number for an ITV game — say zooming in on the penalty area was in line with standard production practice and that the broadcaster being unable to provide VAR with footage showing the relevant player was a “freak” event. “We are unlucky with the decision and unlucky because we had a lot of chances to win this match.” [Wolverhampton Wanderers’](https://theathletic.com/football/team/wolverhampton-wanderers/) [FA Cup](https://theathletic.com/football/fa-cup/) third-round 2-2 draw at [Liverpool](https://theathletic.com/football/team/liverpool/) on Saturday, the head coach and captain [Ruben Neves](https://theathletic.com/football/player/ruben-neves-EPq8p3htT12DEefc/) went to the officials’ dressing room to demand answers, carrying a laptop computer.

The Reds were unable to ease their recent woes as they were held to a 2-2 draw at Anfield in the FA Cup third round.

The Reds' Egyptian King was on target at Anfield on Saturday night, his goal taking him above Sir Kenny Dalglish in the club's all-time list, but for Jurgen Klopp there was little else to smile about.
