An unhappy Julen Lopetegui claimed Toti’s late goal that would have knocked Liverpool out of the FA Cup should not have been ruled offside, with the Wolves manager claiming his “tactical camera” proved this and that VAR did not have the same angle so could not overrule the original decision.

The third round tie was level at 2-2 when Toti appeared to have scored an 80th-minute winner only for Matheus Nunes, who had taken the initial corner, to be adjudged offside when the ball was returned to him and he crossed. On review VAR retained the original decision due to apparently not having the same angle as Lopetegui viewed, which drew a furious reaction from the Spaniard, who had seen a replay instantly on his tactical camera while seated on the bench.
