The Premier League have revealed the reason behind the decision to disallow Cody Gakpo's equalising goal for Liverpool during Saturday's Premier League clash with Aston Villa.
Jacob Ramey had put the visitors ahead in the 27th minute before Dutch forward Gakpo looked to have got the Reds back on level pegging, only for the goal to be chalked off by VAR.
The Premier League released a statement, which reads: 'Virgil Van Dijk was in an offside position from Luis Diaz's header.
'The VAR recommended a review, and referee John Brooks determined it was a deflection off Enzri Konsa, not a deliberate play.'

ManU have an outstanding season and Liverpool have a bad one, but yet ManU only manage a few points ahead of them. Thatβs the real difference between the teams. π

no need to explain we knows already....because VAR and referees beside the crown are helping United to remain in top 4 like always they help them in different ways and matches

Can EPL explain why Mings was allowed to remain on the pitch after his blatant foul(which is a straight Red card Offenes) on Gakpo? Even if VAR made a wrong judgement the referee was very close to the incident. Was referee blind. He was also very biased against Liverpool, he awarded free kicks to Aston Villa whenever their players dropped to the ground but turned a blind eye whenever Liverpool players were fouled. These happened throughout the game. πππ EPL should retire this referee. πππ

I keep on asking this question while EPL official, FA, Refs all hate Liverpool, are they not part of England, always like to bring them down to allow other go, I swear next season champions league won't be like previous year which four club always reached knock out stage or quarter final, I think only one or two clubs will qualify from group stage next season
