Not sure, but the ref made a mistake.

He signalled after the goal that he was given it because it came off Llorente's hip. In reality, it hit his arm then his hip. If the ref had seen that, it looks like he would have disallowed the goal.

Whether that is right or wrong and whether is arm was in a neutral position is another point, but essentially, despite VAR, the ref STILL somehow made the wrong decision.

Unbelievable. Amazing game that I felt was much worse watching with VAR.

I don't believe he got it wrong. From the replays it looked to me as if it completely missed his arm and came off his hip only.

VAR has become a nonsense. Everything goal is over analysed and ruining the game. You can't celebrate goals until the ref has given the green light, and by the time that happens the moment of euphoria has gone.

I thought the intention of VAR was to stop refereeing clangers, not to review every major incident? As I've said before, limit VAR to give either the manager or captain one review per game. If it is deemed the ref got the decision wrong, they keep their review.

At the moment, is there even any point having a referee to make goal/penalty decisions?

Some good points you raise here. I would limit it to one review each team per half just to make it a bit fairer.

I suppose VAR worked well last night in disallowing the Sterling goal as those fractional offsides are tough to spot for a linsman but as you say it totally kills the moment for celebrating fans not knowing what the hell is going on.

VAR won't work in the Premier League if the ref is just told of the decision through his earpiece they should have to go and look at replay's like the ref had to last night but from what I am hearing the authorities here won't be doing that so it makes having a referee pointless in some ways.
