Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp shares sympathy with Wolves as broken VAR camera disallows goal

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has admitted he feels sympathy for Wolves after a broken VAR camera potentially denied them a legal winner at Anfield. The Reds endured another sloppy night and they were punished by the fiery visitors, who continued their fine revival under new head coach Julen Lopetegui.

In truth, Wolves will return to South Merseyside frustrated at not leaving with victory following a controversial VAR call.

The visitors were denied a second-half winner when defender Toti Gomes headed home - only to be denied by the linesman's flag.

However, after a lengthy review, VAR scored the goal despite there being no clear evidence that either Wolves player was offside.

Substitute Matheus Nunes is believed to have been the player in an offside position after receiving the ball shortly after swinging into the corner.

There was no VAR camera in that corner of the pitch at Anfield to provide definitive evidence, which made Klopp sympathetic to Liverpool's opponents.

"I heard now, I'm not sure about their third goal," he told ITV. "We have an angle where it could be offside, but I can understand Wolves not being too happy with that.

"Camera or VAR didn't work properly, so it's tricky. Now we have to play again."

When asked if he agreed with the decision to score the goal, he added: "I can't [agree with the VAR decision], I don't pictures here.

"I see an image where there could be an offside but I understand. I think it's because VAR has a camera angle and obviously we don't want to have that in this game.

"But if it is, if it was not offside, it was bad luck for them, if it was offside, it is the right decision."< /p>

Wolves boss Lopetegui went to the officials after the match to get an explanation as to why Wolves' winner was disallowed.

He also raised frustrations with Liverpool's second goal after Mohamed Salah was played through defender Gomes' header.

Lopetegui argued that if Gomes had known Salah was in an offside position, he would not have attempted to head the ball.

Salah stood wide of offside, but Gomes' attempt to play the ball meant the goal stood.

"Only to talk about the two goals, the one where they missed offside, we saw that doesn't exist. It's impossible," the Spaniard said after the game.

Liverpool new signing Cody Gakpo has also made his Anfield debut as he looks to adapt quickly to his new surroundings.

Klopp said of the Dutchman: "He fit into the game. It wasn't easy for a first step. We can't expect him to be perfect, but he showed good signs. We need to get him in better positions, but it's definitely coming."
