Liverpool beat Leeds United 6-1 in the Premier League, but there was a controversy over the opening goal. 35 minutes into the game, Leeds United's player made a big clearance, and the ball hit the hand of Liverpool's wingback Alexandre Arnault, and the Reds took advantage of the counterattack, and Alexandre Arnault's pass was given to Gap for a goal.
From the slow-motion camera, we can see that Alexander Arnott's hand was actually moving when he was hit, and he should have been penalized for handball, but the referee and the VAR didn't indicate it, so the Reds broke the gap with this goal, which kicked off a big win. Arnott contributed two assists in this game, and he has accumulated 50 assists in the Premier League in his career.
As a matter of fact, there are key handballs in EPL recently, but the referee and VAR have turned a blind eye to them, including Man Utd's last match against Nottingham Forest, where Harry Makouni had committed a handball inside the penalty box and was not penalized for a 12-yard penalty, and this time it is the turn of Liverpool to be the beneficiary, so it's no wonder that netizens have criticized the VAR for being a waste of money.
