VAR gifts Everton pen despite Calvert-Lewin smashing Trent with his knee
  • Another Merseyside derby, another poor case of VAR officiating.
  • The Reds were trailing 1-0 going into the last 10 minutes of the game when Dominic Calvert-Lewin collected the ball on a fast break.
  • The forward saw his shot saved by Alisson before his knee collided with Trent Alexander-Arnold, who was on the ground and could do nothing to avoid contact from that position:
  • The referee went over to the VAR screen to check for a possible non-penalty call but made up his mind in less than 2 seconds!
  • Take a closer look at the incident that started DCL's fall - that is never a penalty!
  • The Reds were not very good tonight and you can't say that we deserved to win, but officiating like this does hurt as it deflates the team, even more, to concede in this fashion.
