Why Wolves’ potential winner v Liverpool was disallowed for seemingly bizarre offside

Wolves appeared to have secured a potential winner in their FA Cup encounter with Liverpool when Toti Gomes put the ball into the back of the net from close range in the last 10 minutes of regulation time.

The 23-year-old had his effort denied for what appeared to be a bizarre offside call at first, which quickly earned a VAR review.

After verification and confirmation that the initial decision had been correct, ESPN FC editor Dale Johnson tweeted an explanation:

It’s a bit strange as far as we’re concerned, although we’ll welcome any decision that goes in our favor when the quality of performance overall has been so poor from Jurgen Klopp’s Reds.

We seemed to have shaken off the Brentford gloom with a more dominant opening section from the first whistle, though once again we showed familiar signs of discord and clear vulnerabilities in the middle of the park.

Arguably past the point where a new signing will solve everything for Liverpool, it’s also hard to see how the club can continue to justify not signing a new midfielder when the department continues to let the team down.
