Dominik Szoboszlai's stunning opener has been put under the spotlight for an offside decision
Former Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel argued with ex-referee Dermot Gallagher as they disagreed whether Liverpool's opening goal against Aston Villa should have stood.
The goal underwent a customary VAR check though Darren England, the man on duty at Stockley Park today, saw no issue and chose not to take preventive action. "Because that's the practice they've been working to this season," he responded. "Can the goalkeeper see the shot? Yes, I think he can. Does Salah move towards the ball, or is he near or close to the ball? No.
Clarifying his viewpoint, Gallagher said: "It's how they interpret the law, it's what they work to. The law said he has to impact the outcome of that decision and he has no impact, Salah, he's not close enough to the ball. "We saw the save that [Jordan] Pickford made in the last minute yesterday - how do you know he's going to make that save? You don't know that.
