"Liverpool have contacted refereeing body PGMOL to raise significant concerns about the decision to disallow Virgil van Dijk's goal against Manchester City, sources have told ESPN. Arne Slot's side were beaten 3-0 at the Etihad on Sunday afternoon but thought they had cancelled out Erling Haaland's opener when Van Dijk nodded home from a corner late in the first half."
"The goal was ruled out after Andy Robertson -- who was standing in an offside position -- was ruled to be blocking the vision of Gianluigi Donnarumma in the City goal, with VAR Michael Oliver backing up the on-field decision. Sources told ESPN Liverpool believe the wording of Law 11 (which deals with offside offences) is clear, and argue that no elements of the criteria needed to disallow the goal were met."
Liverpool have contacted refereeing body PGMOL to raise concerns about the decision to disallow Virgil van Dijk's goal against Manchester City. The goal was ruled out because Andy Robertson, standing in an offside position, was judged to be blocking the vision of goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, with VAR Michael Oliver supporting the on-field decision. The Premier League match centre stated Robertson had been "deemed to be making an obvious action directly in front of the goalkeeper." Liverpool say Law 11's wording shows no criteria for disallowing the goal were met and they do not accept that Donnarumma's vision was impeded. The result left Liverpool eighth, eight points behind leaders Arsenal.
