VAR didn't feel Roberto Firmino impacted play for Liverpool goal vs Crystal Palace

VAR did not consider Roberto Firmino to have impacted play for Liverpool's second goal against Crystal Palace on Sunday and therefore did not intervene to disallow it, says former referee Dermot Gallagher.

The Brazilian was in an offside position when Andy Robertson played the ball into the box on 32 minutes but he still challenged to win the header with Palace left-back Tyrick Mitchell, leaving Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain free at the back post.

When the ball evaded both Firmino and Mitchell, Liverpool's No 15 was on hand to take a touch before lashing past Vicente Guaita in the Palace goal.
