‘The Law States’ – The former PGMOL Chief clarifies why Crystal Palace’s late winning goal is valid, as a new VAR decision has been released.

Liverpool has received a VAR decision following the late excitement against Crystal Palace.

A fresh VAR ruling has been made after two late goals in Liverpool’s thrilling Premier League encounter with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

On Saturday, Liverpool experienced their first loss of the season, falling 2-1 to Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. The match was filled with excitement, highlighted by Eddie Nketiah scoring a late winner for the home team.

The Reds had positioned themselves to secure all three points thanks to Federico Chiesa’s late equalizer, but Arne Slot’s squad had to endure a tense wait before that goal was validated.

VAR stepped in to review the goal for a possible foul by Mohamed Salah, but it was ultimately concluded that no infringement occurred.

87’ The referee’s decision to award the goal was reviewed and upheld by VAR, as it was determined there was no definitive proof that Salah handled the ball during the buildup,” a post on X from the Premier League Match Centre stated.

Just when it seemed Liverpool had salvaged a point, former Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah netted a late winner, with Liverpool target Marc Guehi providing the assist.

Several other significant moments arose during the match, including Liverpool manager Arne Slot receiving a yellow card for leaving his technical area while disputing the validity of Sarr’s goal.

The Palace forward scored his fourth goal of the season from a corner that may not have been awarded, as replays indicated the last touch came from a Palace player.

Liverpool pressed for an equalizer and achieved it through Chiesa with three minutes left in regular time. A delivery from Ryan Gravenberch was not cleared, allowing Chiesa to strike the loose ball into the net.

For the seventh time this season, it appeared that a late goal from Liverpool would determine the result, but Nketiah had different plans.

In the seventh minute of stoppage time, he scored the winner, leaving Slot furious as his goal came after the designated time had expired.

The former Arsenal player’s first goal of the season came after 5pm, with most Premier League matches already concluded.

However, a medical emergency in the stands caused a delay of about ten minutes, as medical staff from both teams rushed to assist after Daniel Munoz and Dominik Szoboszlai informed the referee about the situation.

Nketiah’s extremely late goal ended Liverpool’s seven-match winning streak, with Palace being the last team to defeat Slot’s squad.

The 2-1 win for the home team has brought them within three points of Liverpool, while they remain the only unbeaten team in the Premier League this season.
