How Man City have been on right side of same VAR controversy THREE seasons running
Liverpool boss Arne Slot called out previously incident after his side’s 3-0 defeat
Despite that, Robertson did not touch the ball as it went in.
But VAR ruled that his position had interfered in play, even thought he was not directly blocking City goalie Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Liverpool’s disallowed goal sparked fury from Arne Slot after the final whistle.
He even pointed to referee Chris Kavanagh ALLOWING the exact same goal in City’s favour during last season’s clash against Wolves.
John Stones headed home at the death to give City the win this time last year.
However, it was only allowed after a lengthy VAR check

Yet it was eventually decided that City’s goal was allowed to stand.
Rewinding a further year back, Guardiola’s men benefitted from the same decision for a third time.
Nathan Ake scored in a win over Fulham in September 2023, leaving the Cottagers fuming.
They were adamant that Manuel Akanji had interfered in play by challenging for the ball and attempting to play it while being offside.
But VAR decided to not interfere and backed ref Michael Oliver’s decision to let Ake’s goal stand.

Slot certainly didn’t hold back as he reacted to City’s controversial decision against Liverpool on Sunday.
He said: “It’s difficult for me to give my view about it. I think it’s obvious and clear that the wrong decision has been made, at least in my opinion.
“(Why do you think that?) Because he (Robertson) didn’t interfere at all with what the goalkeeper could do.
“Immediately after the game, someone showed me the goal, that what the same referee allowed City against Wolves last season.
“So it took the linesman 13 seconds to raise his flag to say it’s offside. So there was clearly communication.

“But, as I said, that could have influenced the game in a positive way for us, because in the first half we were so poor.
“But, yeah, a set-piece can make a difference. And now we conceded the 2-0 from a set-piece. That was maybe a fair reflection of the first half, by the way, us being 2-0 down. But that’s maybe not what it’s about.”

Virgil van Dijk vented his anger towards Federico Chiesa following Wolves’ decisive goal at Molineux. Rob Edwards’ outfit pulled off a surprise 2-1 triumph in the Premier League as the Reds squandered an opportunity to climb into fourth position.
Mohamed Salah netted an 83rd-minute leveller in a chaotic conclusion after Rodrigo Gomes had opened the scoring in the Midlands. However, Andre sparked wild celebrations in the stands with a 94th-minute winner.
Liverpool skipper Van Dijk was left furious following the late setback and yelled in Chiesa’s direction, evidently unimpressed with the Italian’s contribution. Alisson had launched a pass towards the winger, but after the duo failed to connect, Chiesa did not track back in an attempt to retrieve the ball.
Andre’s strike then deflected beyond the Brazilian and into the net. A series of issues emerged in the post-match analysis.
Van Dijk was more measured in his post-match interview, though still frustrated by the nature of the defeat.

“Conceding goals is always frustrating,” he told TNT Sport when asked if there were any frustrations about the manner of the two Wolves goals. “Obviously we’ve come on the back of a couple of clean sheets and I think defensively we have been very solid.
“But yeah, listen, it is what it is and we have to move quickly on because we come back here in a couple of days and we want to do well in the FA Cup as well and we have to show a reaction.”
Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard reckons his former side were sluggish in responding to an error from Alisson. “The Liverpool players from the goalkeeper’s mistake – it’s not the greatest clearance from Alisson – but I just thought they were slow to react in midfield as well,” he commented on TNT Sports.
“You know, Wolves are jumping on the first ball, picking up the second ball. It’s a poor goal from a Liverpool point of view to concede, and it’s another late one. It’s happened too many times that they’re conceding these late goals.
“I just think the speed of the reaction from the poor clearance – I’m sure Alisson will want to own up to it – but the reaction’s just too slow.”
Former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock, though, laid the blame at a different door. He identified the pass to Alisson as the issue.
“It was a mistake from Curtis Jones – he plays a ball into Alisson and Alisson’s never going to get any purchase on it,” Warnock stated on BBC Radio 5 Live.
“Andre looked heavy in the last five or so minutes but he takes a shot and it takes a wicked deflection to loop over Alisson.”

GOAL!!! Wolves 1-1 Liverpool (Salah, 82)
SALAH FINDS THE NET IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE! His first for 122 days. Good time to get it.
And this is why Wolves are going doing. Bellegarde plays a horrific pass straight to Salah who runs at Krecji into the box and pokes a clever finish with the outside of his foot.
Straight back to the centre-circle. No time to waste.
