A recent VAR (Video Assistant Referee) controversy during Liverpool’s commanding 3-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford has ignited a fierce debate among football fans and analysts. The incident, which occurred on Sunday, has revived concerns about the effectiveness and reliability of VAR, a system intended to minimize errors but now being criticized for potentially introducing new ones.
Liverpool, who have been in exceptional form since the start of the season, completely outperformed their long-standing rivals in a match that underscored their superiority. From the beginning, Liverpool took control, with Luis Diaz delivering a remarkable performance by scoring two goals in the first half, setting the tone for a comprehensive win. Mohamed Salah, one of the Premier League’s top strikers, added a third goal early in the second half, effectively ending any chance of a Manchester United comeback.
Despite the decisive scoreline, some argue that the margin could have been even greater. Liverpool created several chances throughout the match, and on a different day, might have converted more of those opportunities. However, one particular incident in the second half has become the focus of intense post-match analysis.
The controversy centers on a clash between Manchester United defender Noussair Mazraoui and Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo. As Gakpo made a run into the penalty area, Mazraoui seemed to clip his leg, causing Gakpo to lose balance. Despite what many perceived as obvious contact, referee Anthony Taylor allowed play to continue, with Darwin Nunez eventually missing a shot from a promising position. The situation grew even more contentious when it was revealed that the VAR team, led by John Brooks and assisted by Harry Lennard, chose not to review the incident, leaving many bewildered and questioning the decision.
Former Liverpool forward Neil Mellor was particularly vocal about the perceived injustice. Using social media platform X, Mellor posted images appearing to show clear contact between Mazraoui and Gakpo, expressing his confusion over the decision not to award a penalty. He questioned why VAR did not intervene in what seemed to be a straightforward situation. Mellor pointed out that the referee had acknowledged the foul by playing the advantage, yet after Nunez’s shot went wide, the incident wasn’t reviewed, a decision that both Mellor and many Liverpool supporters found perplexing.
Mellor’s frustration reflects a broader dissatisfaction among football fans regarding the inconsistent application of VAR. “The referee saw the foul on Gakpo and signaled advantage… Nunez shot wide,” Mellor wrote. “The contact happened inside the area… so why didn’t VAR inform him it should be a penalty?” This sentiment has been widely shared within the football community, where discontent with the seemingly erratic nature of VAR decisions is growing.
