The Premier League have issued a statement to explain why Curtis Jones’ goal for Liverpool was ruled out against Manchester City.
Dominik Szoboszlai raced onto a through ball in the second half and played it across for Jones to tap home and despite a curious look across the pitch, the assistant referee did not raise his flag to indicate offside.
However, the goal was then checked by VAR and after a review it was deemed that the Hungarian had drifted into an offside position when the ball was played into his path.
The league’s Match Centre explained: “VAR recommended that Liverpool’s goal was disallowed as Szoboszlai was in an offside position in the build-up.”
