"What happened: Liverpool's Dominik Szoboszlai delivered a corner deep into the Inter Milan penalty area, where both Hugo Ekitike and Virgil van Dijk jumped to challenge for the ball. Van Dijk got the first contact and headed the ball back toward goal, via a deflection off the arm of Ekitike, then on to the head of Ibrahima Konaté who scored."
"VAR review: This review was a lengthy four minutes, with the officials uncomfortable that a goal had been scored, created in part via a deflection off an attacking player's arm. Ekitike's contact on the ball was accidental, absolutely. However, his left arm being at shoulder height, outstretched, and the level of movement towards the ball would have been the focus. Clearly it caused debate among the officials as to whether it was an unnatural position."
A Liverpool corner was headed back by Virgil van Dijk and deflected off Hugo Ekitike's arm onto Ibrahima Konaté, who scored. The VAR recommended an on-field review after deeming a handball in the buildup. Officials conducted a four-minute review, troubled by the goal being created partly via a deflection off an attacking player's arm. Ekitike's contact was accidental, but his left arm was at shoulder height and outstretched, with movement toward the ball examined. Officials debated whether the arm position was unnatural, and referee Felix Zwayer disallowed the goal.
