(Video) VAR overturns Firmino offside goal verdict to hand Liverpool first-half lifeline

Soccer /

VAR was on hand to give Liverpool fans hope that the club would turn around a poor start to their Premier League encounter with Brighton & Hove Albion after the visitors recorded two efforts to get past Alisson Becker in the first 17. minutes of action.

Bobby Firmino halved the deficit at the half-hour mark, coming at the end of a Mo Salah drop-back and producing a deft finish.

Fortunately, the linesman’s decision to call offside was reviewed by Stockley Park operators, who ruled that the Egyptian king had perfectly timed his run into the box.
