Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold was questioned on the controversial handball decision during Manchester City's defeat at Anfield.
Bernardo Silva's deflected cross clearly struck the defender's arm but referee Michael Oliver waved away the claims of the Man City players.
Liverpool punished City on the counter attack, scoring just 22 seconds later, when Fabinho rifled a long range effort past Claudio Bravo.
Alexander-Arnold was questioned on the incident after the game, admitting the ball did strike his hand.
He told Sky Sports: "There's VAR. I think it [the ball] might have hit my arm but it hit Bernardo Silva's first. You have to carry on playing, they complained but you have to keep on playing.
"We're on a good run, we are still unbeaten, at home we have the advantage with the fans so every time we are here we want to pick up the three points we feel we should.
"We picked up a lot last season to get to 97 points and it wasn't enough and we know we have to do something similar this time."

Arnold is very right. He accepts it hit him ,but it also hit Silva first. And he says "there is VAR". And he is right. So the question is, EXACTLY WHY WASN'T VAR USED IN SUCH A BIG GAME WHERE CONTROVERSIES WERE MOST LIKELY GOING TO BE FOUND???

some points to consider 1. nine (8) points clear at the top. 2. we have been on top since day one .. after playing the opening game and beating Norwich 4-1 3. Still unbeaten at home this season 4. we have collected most points from the top six (we have played them all) 5. because of the club world cup - we may have some (Liverpool) games postpone (u know what that means - we will know all your points when we return and win all our outstanding matches to extend the gap its our time, its our season, its our year YNWA - this means more

The problem with Liverpool fans is that they are very loyal to their club but they completely no nothing about the laws of the game. Congratulations for victory and hoping you win this title this time around, it has been the longest wait!

The real truth is that I mistakenly disconnect the VAR cable. So there was no communication between ref and VAR

“I think it might have hit my arm” who are you? Are you not playing there? You obviously know whether it hits or not! Just say the ball hit my arm. Mf
