FANS have been left furious after Manchester City had a goal disallowed during their clash with Liverpool.
The Cityzens put the ball in the back of the net for the second time in the game, but saw it ruled out by referee Chris Kavanagh.
The ball had been whipped in from a corner kick when Manuel Akanji jumped up alongside Reds goalkeeper Allison to try and win the ball.
The Brazilian shot-stopper tried to gather the ball in his grasp, but was unable to keep hold of it and saw it spill over his head and into the path of Ruben Dias.
Dias was alert to the situation and tapped the ball home to give City a two goal lead.
But the officials instantly blew to rule out the goal deeming the contact between Akanji and Allison to have been a foul on the Liverpool goalkeeper.
Fans watching on from home were seething with the decision and took to social media to vent their anger.
One wrote: “Not even remotely a foul. Is football a non-contact sport now? Referees and VAR proving every single game without exception to be utterly inept.”
While another added: “That’s an absolute shocker from VAR. Alisson has had a howler again. Klopp would want the game replayed for a decision against him like that.”
A third wrote: “That’s a ridiculous call. Clearly not a foul. Refereeing in England and VAR again a joke.”
And others compared the push to the one Joelinton made on Gabriel Magalahaes in Newcastle’s win over Arsenal.
One fan wrote: “Soooo VAR saw that push but not the one on Gabriel nah.”
