A VAR expert has slammed the 'terrible decision' that led to Liverpool's late equaliser being chalked off for a handball on Alexis Mac Allister.<\/p>\n

Jarell Quansah thought he had secured the Reds a point on Thursday evening, having been 3-1 down to Toulouse at one point, in the 97th minute. However, after a lengthy check, it was deemed that Mac Allister handled the ball in the build-up.<\/p>\n

Dale Johnson posted on X, formerly known as Twitter: "So many reasons why Mac Allister handball is a terrible VAR decision: Arm close to body, being withdrawn not moved to ball, high on arm, not deliberate, way back in play."<\/p>\n

However, Johnson then pointed out why the goal was allowed to stand, and why it wouldn't in the Premier League. He added: "But this is UEFA, with goals disallowed for any handball in attack phase." <\/p>\n

UEFA rules state that any handball during an attack will result in the goal being chalked off. UEFA Football Board put to UEFA that a handball that was a result of a deflection of the same player shouldn't count – but it is not an official law.<\/p>\n

Jurgen Klopp was unhappy with the decision in his post-match press conference: "I only saw the video back and for me, it\u2019s not a handball, but how can I decide that? <\/p>\n

\u201cYes, the ball goes to the chest and I don\u2019t see contact with the arm, to be honest. Maybe they had a different picture than I had. It\u2019s pretty long ago before we score the goal, [I was thinking] \u2018where\u2019s the free-kick?\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s interesting, we could talk about that. I heard, I didn\u2019t see it, that there could have been a penalty for us in another situation, I don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n
