Ruben Neves aims cheeky dig at Liverpool following VAR controversy

Ruben Neves has taken aim at last night's officiating team by claiming tongue-in-cheek that 'three goals' were not enough to beat Liverpool.

Wolves earned a third round replay with the Reds after a whirlwind game at Anfield ended 2-2. Goncalo Guedes opened the scoring for the away side before two goals either side of half-time from Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah turned the tide. Hwang Hee-Chan brought the game back level and when Toti poked home in the 82nd-minute, the Midlands side looked to have won it.

That was until the assistant referee raised his flag, adjudging corner taker Matheus Nunes to have been offside as he came back to retrieve a second ball. A lack of definitive camera angles provided for VAR meant that referee Andy Madley had to stick with the on-field decision - a decision that recent fan footage suggests was very tight at best.
