Video technology shows Roberto Firmino's 77th minute strike was ONE centimetre away from crossing the goalline in Liverpool's win over Leicester... but Brazilian striker ends up with the last laugh by heading in third goal just nine minutes later

Goal line technology denied Roberto Firmino a goal for Liverpool against Leicester on Sunday - by claiming his was one centimetre away from crossing the line.

The Brazilian striker ran clear on goal in the 77th minute but hit the post at his intial attempt, but the effort fell kindly to the Liverpool man whose rebounded strike was cleared off the line by Marc Albrighton before Sadio Mane hit the post again.

The video technology claimed that Firmino's second effort was ten millimeters away from being a goal, with the live replay of the attack showing how close the ball was from crossing the goal line.
