The Premier League has finally acknowledged the horrible VAR blunder committed by the referee during the Manchester United vs. Liverpool FC match. It is really unfortunate that the referee’s negligence caused us to draw the match; we cannot allow this to occur and the match needs to be replayed.😡😡😡 That was a penalty, how? VAR works against us 😭
This afternoon’s highly anticipated football match at Old Trafford came to an intriguing conclusion, as Manchester United and Liverpool battled to a 2-2 draw, resulting in a split of points for both teams.
In a continuation of their ongoing rivalry, Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool once again found themselves unable to secure a victory against Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United. This outcome marks another setback for Klopp, who has been facing a string of disappointing results in his final season at the helm of Liverpool. Previous encounters between the two sides have seen a goalless draw at Anfield and a 4-3 loss for Liverpool in the FA Cup. Today’s match adds another stalemate to Klopp’s record against ten Hag’s formidable squad.
The match started with Liverpool taking the lead in the 23rd minute, displaying their attacking prowess. However, Manchester United quickly turned the tide with goals from Bruno Fernandes and the standout player Kobbie Mainoo, propelling them ahead 2-1 as the game entered its final phase.
Just when it seemed Manchester United would secure the win, the dynamics of the game shifted dramatically. Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s challenge on Harvey Elliott in the penalty area resulted in a penalty being awarded to Liverpool by referee Anthony Taylor. Despite protests from Manchester United players and fans, VAR confirmed the decision after a brief review, leaving Wan-Bissaka and his team in disbelief.
The contentious nature of Wan-Bissaka’s challenge has sparked debate among spectators, with some questioning whether there was sufficient contact with Elliott to warrant a penalty. This uncertainty has cast doubt on the validity of the penalty decision, adding an extra layer of controversy to an already intense match.
