Ruben Neves aims Liverpool dig as Wolves captain makes thoughts clear on FA Cup controversy

Ruben Neves joked that "three goals" weren't enough to beat Liverpool after Wolves had to settle for a replay in the teams' controversial FA Cup clash.

Neves' Wolves thought they'd scored a dramatic late winner at Anfield, only for the offside flag to be raised and VAR be unable to accurately review the linesman's decision because of a lack of camera angles. Defender Toti Gomes had back-heeled the ball into Liverpool's goal in the 82nd minute with the scoreline 2-2, but Matheus Nunes was adjudged to have been offside in the build-up.

The decision not to award the goal, which would've surely dumped holders Liverpool out of the FA Cup at the first hurdle, left Wolves fuming. New boss Julen Lopetegui claimed that his coaching staff had proof that Nunes wasn't offside on their tactical camera, and the visiting players were just as incensed when they saw the footage back, including captain Neves.
