It’s a bricky situation and decision but they’re the rules. Gary Neville was bemoaning lack of consistency earlier in the game and then says the goal should “just be let stand”.

In hockey there's what's called a technical goal. This would be it, but we don't have that rule in football, so the outcome is 100% correct according to the rules, even if everyone would like the goal to stand, and leave it with that.

In the NFL, you can have offsetting fouls, football should have that.

Couldn't VAR just acknowledge that the ref played the advantage, and given the red anyway? Probably some rules restricting that, but from my fragile memory surely there have been incidents in the past where players have been booked or sent off after a goal has been scored, from a foul that happened in the build up to the goal.

If Haaland hadn't pulled Szoboslai it would have stood. But Haaland made a foul, stopping Szoboslai from saving the goal. Then they had to pull it back to the initial foul by Szoboslai.

Reminds me when we beat City in the Champions League knockout phase in 2019. I think they had score and Pep was jumping about on the touch line - only for VAR to rule it out for offside….

That makes sense.

I can't see any controversy in the decision, Sodoffski commits the original foul which stopped a probably certain goal and should be sent off, the only point that could be controversial is whether a Liverpool player can be sent off for such an infringement particularly at Anfield, I'm sure there's a law against it.
