Toulouse 3-2 Liverpool: Yet MORE VAR drama sees Reds denied late equaliser in France

UEFA’S promotional material around Stade de Toulouse hyped up the ‘road to Dublin’ and this trip across the Channel proved there will be plenty of unforeseen blocks and bumps in the journey if Liverpool are to get all the way to the Europa League final in Ireland’s capital.

Alexis Mac Allister was adjudged to have handled the ball nearly a minute before Quansah poked the ball home and Liverpool fumed at the fact a new phase of play had started, meaning VAR should not have had the jurisdiction to look so far back in the move to rule out the goal.

‘For me it’s not a handball,’ said Klopp. ‘It was with his chest and I don’t see any contact with the arm to be honest. But I’m more concerned that I would have loved us to play better. That’s my main issue tonight..

Liverpool had the ball in the back of the net late on, but the equaliser was duly ruled out for a handball by Alexis Mac Allister in the final added minute
