(Image) VAR deems reckless tackle on Jordan Henderson acceptable as Cresswell escapes sanctions

Jordan Henderson was on the receiving end of a horrific tackle from West Ham full-back Aaron Creswell in the eighth minute of the game but to the bemusement of many, the referee failed to even award a free-kick.

The tackle was checked by VAR’s Stuart Attwell but he also deemed the tackle acceptable – a decision that will undoubtedly baffle many a Liverpool fan.

The captain’s safety was certainly endangered so it was strange to see no action taken against the Merseyside-born Hammers star.
