MNU 0-5 LIV: Why VAR Canceled Ronaldo’s Goal And Approved A Red Card For Pogba In Today’s Game

Manchester United may have suffered their biggest defeat under Ole Gunner’s management. In today’s game against Liverpool, the Red Devils conceded seven goals. The visitors got off to a fast start, with Keita scoring on five minutes after a quick counter, before Jota doubled their lead eight minutes later, thanks to more poor defending by United defenders.

Salah then scored two goals before the halftime break to make it 4-0 for Liverpool. The Reds piled on more pressure in the second half, and Salah completed his hat-trick in the 50th minute. The game ended with Liverpool winning by a score of 5 to nil.

Meanwhile, there were two contentious moments in the game, both of which occurred in the second half. The first occurred in the 52nd minute, when Ronaldo scored.

However, VAR reviewed the goal and saw that Ronaldo was just offside as he made his run in behind. Seeing this, the goal was canceled.

The second controversial moment occurred in the 59th minute, when Paul Pogba fouled Keita, and VAR determined that the midfielder dived with both feet raised and high, and did not get the ball, but rather caught Keita’s legs.

Upon seeing this, the referee, who had originally given him a yellow card, reversed his decision and sent Pogba off the field. Obviously, the midfielder’s challenge on Keita was poor.
