'We cannot go on like this' - Souness calls for rule change after Liverpool VAR controversy

Former Liverpool captain Graeme Souness has called for the offside rule to be changed after Wolves had a goal controversially disallowed via VAR during the first half of their 1-0 defeat against the Reds at Anfield on Sunday.

Pedro Neto thought he had equalised for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side on the brink of half time only for the strike to be ruled out following a lengthy VAR check, with team-mate Jonny ruled to be marginally ahead of the last defender in the build-up.

The visitors were already frustrated after Sadio Mane’s opening goal was initially ruled out by referee Anthony Taylor for a handball by Adam Lallana, only for VAR to overrule the decision and award the goal.
