Manchester City produce late comeback to beat Liverpool in chaotic game

Sometimes the video assistant referee just cannot win, stuck in a hole between what feels right in the spirit of the game and what is correct in law.

Manchester City thought they had scored a third goal at Liverpool which would have capped off one of the most dramatic ends to a Premier League game this season.

But it was stripped away by a VAR review for a foul committed just before the ball rolled over the line.

Fans will hate it, pundits won't like it, and football will turn its nose up too. Yet there really was no way the VAR, John Brooks, could not intervene.
