The PGMOL have released the VAR audio from the moments following Virgil van Dijk’s disallowed goal against Manchester City on Sunday.
Liverpool’s captain appeared to have equalized with a brilliant header after 38 minutes at the Etihad, only for the goal to be ruled out due to Andy Robertson’s involvement.
Robertson was in an offside position and was deemed to have interfered with Manchester City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.
However, footage from certain angles shows that Donnarumma had a clear view of van Dijk and wasn’t affected by Robertson at all. Despite this, Video Assistant Referee Michael Oliver – a Newcastle United supporter – ruled the goal out after a brief review.

Konaté: “Success Will Come” Despite the uncertainty, Konaté remains optimistic. Speaking in a recent interview, the French centre-back emphasized that this phase is part of a bigger journey. According to him, Liverpool are still adapting — especially with new players settling into the squad. He believes that with time, chemistry will improve and trophies will follow. 🏆 He also pointed to last season’s success as proof that the team has what it takes to bounce back stronger. 🤝 A Call for Unity More than anything, Konaté stressed the importance of togetherness between the team and its supporters. He praised the Anfield faithful and urged everyone to stay united, insisting that better days are ahead if patience is maintained. ❤️ Interestingly, his comments come at a time when his own future at the club remains uncertain, with his contract situation yet to be resolved heading into the summer. 🔍 What Happens Next? Liverpool’s season is now entering a defining period. Results must improve, injuries need to clear, and stability must return — both on and off the pitch. But if Konaté’s words are anything to go by, belief inside the squad is still very much alive. And sometimes… that’s all it takes before everything turns around. 👀🔥
