VAR official, David Coote has come under criticism following Liverpool’s 1-1 draw against Arsenal on Saturday.
Reds boss, Jurgen Klopp, speaking after the game said a “guy in an office” should have awarded a penalty following a Martin Odegaard handball during the first half.
The Gunners will be top of the Premier League table at Christmas following the result.
Mohamed Salah cancelled out Gabriel’s fourth-minute opener, and the point leaves Liverpool second, one point behind the Gunners.
But Klopp said his team should have been awarded a penalty in the 19th minute after Odegaard appeared to block Salah’s path to the ball by handling in the 18-yard box.
Referee, Chris Kavanagh allowed play to continue and VAR did not stop the match for a check.
Coote deemed that Odegaard handled the ball while falling.
“Yes I have seen it,” Klopp said.
“I am pretty sure someone will come to explain to me why it was not a handball but I don’t know how.
