Fans reckon ref blunder vs Spurs ‘best thing that’s ever happened to Liverpool’ after yet more VAR controversy at Palace
FOOTBALL fans reckon Liverpool are getting the rub of the green with VAR ever since their controversial defeat to Tottenham.
That's after Virgil van Dijk escaped giving away a penalty at Crystal Palace due to a foul in the build-up.
VAR made the huge call during Saturday's Premier League clash at Selhurst Park.
Van Dijk was penalised for a foul in Liverpool's box on Palace striker Odsonne Edouard.
The Dutchman looked distraught as referee Andy Madley pointed to the spot.
However, the official was instructed by VAR to check the pitch-side monitor as there may have been a foul on a Liverpool player in the build-up.

Wataru Endo collided with Will Hughes earlier on, conceding possession which eventually resulted in Palace's penalty.
But VAR and Madley agreed it was a pertinent issue in play.
And to the jeers of the Selhurst Park crowd, the penalty was overturned.
Fans at home were certainly unimpressed, with many feeling that Liverpool have been getting most VAR calls ever since a shocking call went against them in September's defeat at Spurs.

Luis Diaz's perfectly legal goal was ruled out for offside as the Reds lost 2-1 while also having two players sent off.
But some supporters reckon Liverpool are now reaping the benefits.
One said: "Liverpool ever since the Spurs game has had every decision go in favour of them. VAR is a joke."
Another declared: "Absolutely insane that the on-field call doesn’t stand there. It’s a foul, but the ref didn’t think it was. If that’s most other teams, VAR doesn’t intervene."
One added: "Ruling that goal out against Spurs is the best thing to ever happen to Liverpool."
