Referee chiefs have explained why Marcus Rashford’s goal in Manchester United’s 1-1 draw against Liverpool was not disallowed by VAR despite a challenge on Divock Origi in the build-up.
Reds manager, Jurgen Klopp was angered by the official decision to allow Rashford’s opener in the 1-1 draw at Old Trafford after it appeared Victor Lindelof had fouled Origi in the United half.
Liverpool players called for the goal to be ruled out, but referee Martin Atkinson was close to the incident and VAR backed his decision not to blow for a foul.
And now the Professional Game Match Officials Limited, PGMOL, has explained why the goal was not overturned.
