Premier League officials have confirmed that Phil Foden's goal for Manchester City in their 1-0 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield was disallowed due to two problems in the build up to it.
After Allison raced out of his goal to stop Erling Haaland from latching on to Kevin De Bruyne's through pass, Foden slammed the ball home to spark jubilant celebrations from the away end. Referee Anthony Taylor, however, was advised by VAR to take a second look via the pitch-side monitor, subsequently chalking off what City believed to be the opener due to a foul by Haaland on Fabinho earlier in the move.
Pep Guardiola was clearly incensed on the sidelines at seeing his side denied the chance to go in front. But it can now be revealed that there was another problem with the goal.
