Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper pointed to an “interesting” first experience of VAR in his team’s FA Cup defeat to Liverpool.
The Reds pushed their Premier League opponents all the way in a pulsating quarter-final at the City Ground. Unable to make the most of a number of positive moments, they lost out to a Diogo Jota goal in the 78th minute.
But a VAR check was needed for the winner, over what looked to be a very tight offside call. And the video assistant was called into action again soon after, when Ryan Yates went down in the box under the challenge of Alisson Becker - with no penalty given.
