(Video) Dermot Gallagher delivers Mac Allister foul verdict for Diaz goal
Liverpool fans, much like everyone else in the Premier League, are used to having VAR spoil most moments in a game and this happened against Burnley – with Dermot Gallagher sharing his thoughts on a key moment.
Speaking on Sky Sports about a possible foul by Alexis Mac Allister in the build up to Luis Diaz’s goal, Dermot Gallagher said: “I just think, if a foul is going to be given there it’s got to be by the onfield referee rather than VAR otherwise we’re re-refereeing a football match.”

It would have been a remarkably harsh decision to pull that goal back for contact between two players but had Aaron Ramsey gone to ground – it could have been a different conclusion.
We should never encourage players to go down but it does feel as though anyone going to the turf has a much greater chance of a decision going your way.
