VAR was once again the centre of attention as Liverpool clinched a 1-0 win over Wolves on Sunday.

Sadio Mane's winner was originally not given after referee Anthony Taylor adjudged Adam Lallana to have flicked on the ball with his arm.

But VAR confirmed that Lallana had hit the ball with his shoulder and the goal stood, meaning Liverpool now have a thirteen point lead at the top of the table.

Speaking after the game, Reds boss Jurgen Klopp said: "It was [a hard-fought game], it was indeed. No surprise, Wolves are a proper, proper team with a lot of strength, but in the first half we controlled the game like we wanted, like we should.

"We had chances, scored the goal. We had to defend, the counter-attacking threat is massive – Neto and Jota were on their bikes immediately, but we defended it well. Then we scored the goal.

"I think Nuno was not happy with the VAR procedure probably, I am not sure if it was with the decision. What can we say about the decision? For me, for the first second I was surprised when the whistle came and it was handball. I thought it was a clear shoulder from the first second, but how can you be sure so it took a while.

"Then we scored the goal, after three minutes the decision was done. I saw immediately this kind of relief for a second – we are all human beings and it is normal – but for the next long ball we were not there for the second ball, Adam [Lallana] makes a foul, free-kick, corner, goal. It didn't count, but it brought the momentum on their side."
