Webb defends VAR ruling out Liverpool equaliser against Manchester City
NeutralSports

In a recent match, Liverpool's attempt to equalise against Manchester City was thwarted when Virgil van Dijk's header was disallowed by referee Chris Kavanagh, with VAR assistant Michael Oliver upholding the decision. The ruling stemmed from an offside position involving Andy Robertson, who was deemed to have interfered with City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. Howard Webb, the head of referees, defended the officials' actions, asserting they did not act unreasonably, although he refrained from labeling the decision as correct. This incident highlights ongoing debates surrounding VAR's implementation and the subjective nature of offside rulings, particularly in high-stakes matches like this one.
