​Wolves captain Coady blasts VAR over Liverpool winner

Wolves captain Conor Coady was furious at the officiating after his side were denied an equalizer against Liverpool.

The away side battled hard against the league leaders in this Premier League fixture on Sunday.

But they were denied an equaliser through Pedro Neto, with VAR deciding he was marginally offside.

Liverpool's goal from Sadio Mane had also been reviewed by VAR, but it was allowed.

"We feel massively hard done by. I can't get my head around it. It is ridiculous," Coady told reporters after the game.

"For me it is not working. Some people are saying it gets the right decision, but we're the players on the pitch and it doesn't feel right to me.

"Anthony Taylor is a great fella to speak to, but I ask a question and I don't get an answer.

"We thought [Virgil] Van Dijk handballed it, but the referee tells me Van Dijk is too far away. He played the pass!

"VAR is affecting the game, you can hear the fans singing about it. No-one has asked us about it.

"It is still confusing, I can't get my head around it, you don't get answers on the pitch."
