Joleon Lescott hits out at 'ridiculous' decision NOT to rule out Antoine Griezmann's first goal for Atletico Madrid's against Liverpool as Thomas Lemar appears to obstruct Joel Matip in offside position

BT Sport pundit Joleon Lescott has slammed the 'ridiculous' decision not to rule out Antoine Griezmann's first goal for Atletico Madrid against Liverpool.

Liverpool had a comfortable 2-0 lead before the Frenchman got one back for the hosts after 20 minutes, before bagging an equaliser 14 minutes later.

After Griezmann's first goal there was a VAR review, with a check to see if French team-mate Thomas Lemar was offside before the ball went into the net.
