Former Sky Sports anchor Richard Keys has claimed the PGMOL have admitted Liverpool ’s opening goal vs Leeds should have been disallowed.
The Reds ran out handsome 6-1 winners at Elland Road, but the first of their six goals came with more than a tinge of controversy. Cody Gakpo ’s tap-in came after Trent Alexander-Arnold charged down Junior Firpo, winning the ball back and in turn crossing for his teammate to open the scoring.
Replays showed the ball hit Alexander-Arnold’s arm, with Leeds players strongly protesting the goal should be disallowed. However, both the on-field referee and the VAR decided the goal should stand.
