Crystal Palace defender Chris Richards expressed his frustration after a controversial handball decision involving Liverpool Mo Salah striker during his recent Premier League confrontation.
The moment, which arrived at a crucial stage of the game, rekindled the debate around the Var and the consistency of the arbitration in the high flight of England.
The incident occurred when Salah seemed to manage the ball during the accumulation of the goal that Liverpool scored.
Ismaila Sarr scored the first goal for Palace at Selhurst Park, but Liverpool retaliated to equalize the score at the end of the second half thanks to Federico Chiesa.
Salah seemed to have touched the ball, but the Var did not consider it illegal and allowed the lens of Liverpool.
This did not mean anything at the end, because Eddie Nketiah scored in the 97th minute against the side of Arne Slot to give them their first defeat of the season.
