Former Manchester City defender Micah Richards has branded VAR’s awarding of a Liverpool penalty at Crystal Palace as one of the “worst decisions” of the season.
Referee Kevin Friend initially opted not to penalise Palace keeper Vicente Guaita after he made contact with Diogo Jota in the box.
However, after a lengthy review and consultation with the VAR monitor, the referee overturned his original ruling, and the spot-kick was coolly dispatched by Fabinho to secure a crucial three points for the Reds.
