Premier League explain why Southampton goal against Liverpool was allowed to stand

An apparent foul on Diogo Jota, which came moments before Southampton took the lead against Liverpool, failed to go to a VAR review because it did not meet the necessary criteria.

That's according to journalist Chris Williams, who shared an update from the Premier League Match Centre on social media during Tuesday's evening's crucial Premier League encounter.

The incident occurred in the 13th minute when Reds forward Jota attempted to receive a pass into feet but appeared to be chopped down by Lyanco. With no foul given by referee Martin Atkinson, Southampton broke away down the opposite end of the field and scored when Nathan Redmond cut inside and arrowed the ball home with the help of a deflection off James Milner.
