Liverpool fans reacted on social media after they felt they were on the wrong side of yet another VAR decision during their clash against Brighton.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jurgen Klopp’s side came away with a point from Sunday’s match<\/a> with Mohamed Salah’s brace cancelled out by goals from Simon Adingra and Lewis Dunk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salah’s second goal of the match came from the penalty spot after Pascal Gross was deemed to have pulled Dominik Szoboszlai to the ground in the box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VAR awarded Liverpool the penalty but decided against handing out any further punishment to Gross for the foul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The decision comes just days after the PGMOL published a public apology to Liverpool for incorrectly ruling out Luis Diaz’s goal against Tottenham last Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Klopp was highly critical of the refereeing performance against Spurs and requested a replay, and the Reds boss found his side experiencing more VAR drama against the Seagulls on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liverpool fans took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to vent their frustrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One fan claimed that a Liverpool player would have seen red if the roles were reversed at the Amex Stadium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If Pascal Gross was any Liverpool player there (conceding the penalty by fouling Szoboszlai), he\u2019d be straight off with a red card<\/p>— 11Mo (@11MoSalah11) October 8, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote>
