"This was a thriller that saw Liverpool take the lead, only for Man City to score two answered goals to complete a 2-1 comeback. The win for Man City changed the dynamic of the Premier League title race, while the loss for Liverpool marked a setback in their bid to qualify for the Champions League. Suffice to say, this was a huge match with high stakes, and a number of penalty calls and non-calls had a major impact on how the game played out."
"Mohamed Salah was played in by teammate Dominik Szoboszlai beyond the Manchester City back line, and Guéhi pulled Salah to the ground as he advanced on goal. Referee Pawson awarded a free kick and issued a yellow card to Guéhi. Liverpool shouted for a penalty, but the VAR agreed with the call on the field. As the challenge came outside of the penalty area, they deemed it not to be DOGSO as there was a covering defender."
Video assistant referee decisions cause weekly controversy in the Premier League and require application of VAR protocol and the Laws of the Game. Liverpool and Manchester City contested a high-stakes match that finished 2-1 to Man City, influencing the title race and Liverpool's Champions League qualification bid. A key 68th-minute incident involved Marc Guéhi pulling Mohamed Salah as Salah ran through behind the City defence. Referee Craig Pawson awarded a free kick and a yellow card. VAR reviewed and confirmed the on-field decision, determining the foul occurred outside the penalty area and a covering defender meant the challenge was not DOGSO.
