PGMOL 'contact' Leeds over Trent Alexander-Arnold handball during Liverpool thrashing

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.
