Liverpool fans will rightly feel aggrieved after VAR deemed Martin Odegaard’s potential handball not a penalty-worthy offence.
The former Real Madrid man appeared to intentionally handle the ball inside his own box, leading to protests from Mo Salah.
A review from the technicians at Stockley Park (including under-investigation official David Coote), however, deemed the contact entirely accidental, with the scoreline at 1-0 at the time of writing.
It’s exactly the kind of interference you’ll see punished elsewhere this season, though not at Anfield it seems!

He was falling, so he couldn’t get out of the way, both Salah and Van Dike should have been sent off for their dissent to wards the ref but he bottled it, couldn’t wait to book Arsenal players
The most blatant handball you’ll see this or any other season that dickhead. Probably why you’re attempting to justify it not being given by claiming Salah & van Dijk should have been sent off, you dopey cunt.
