The Premier League's VAR system intervened in Liverpool's 2-1 victory against Wolves, reversing an initial penalty call against Wolves defender Agbadou. Despite Liverpool's protests, replays showed minimal contact, leading to the on-field decision being overturned.
The Premier League have explained why the VAR said referee Simon Hooper should change his decision to award Liverpool a penalty in their 2-1 win over Wolves in Anfield.
But replays showed that the only contact came from the Portugal international clipping the Wolves defender's torso with his foot, although Jota also avoided a yellow card for simulation as the video assistant referee duly said that the decision should be reversed. Pundit Stephen Warnock, speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, said of the incident: "I don't think it's a penalty. No penalty. The right decision. Liverpool fans will think it's a clear penalty. I don't think Simon Hooper needs to see another angle."
Liverpool were two goals to the good at the time thanks to an early goal from Luis Diaz, while Mohamed Salah scored a 37th-minute penalty after Colombia international Diaz was fouled by Wolves stopper Jose Sa.
