“In the 42nd minute of Crystal Palace v Liverpool, James Tomkins scored for Crystal Palace,” begins the dispatch from the PGMOL. “The on-field decision was to award the goal, but the VAR identified a clear push by Jordan Ayew on Dejan Lovren and advised the referee to reverse his decision and award a free kick to Liverpool.”

I don’t even really blame Emery for this.
These dropped points are on Raul, Edu, Josh, & the board who should have done what they needed to well before now. #EmeryOut
Premier League: Arsenal’s late, late equaliser wasn’t enough to prevent them from being booed off at the Toxicity Dome that is otherwise known as the Emirates Stadium. It was a good result for Southampton, who will probably feel otherwise as they head for home. Conceding that goal at the finish makes them the only away team in the Premier League not to win so far today. Will Chelsea fare as well at the Etihad Stadium? Join Scott Murray to find out ...

VAR! A shove by Jordan Ayew on Dejan Lovren in the build-up to Crystal Palace’s “goal” against Liverpool means I have to use inverted commas. Lovren didn’t score and was in no danger of scoring, leaving Gary Lineker unimpressed.
Took a while, but VAR rules out a Palace goal against Liverpool. If you look for long enough the anti-goal merchants will find something. 🙄
