Staff at Aston Villa are upset with Liverpool’s decision, and Ian Wright feels Howard Webb will have to apologize.
Ian Wright thinks that Dominik Szoboszlai’s spectacular goal for Liverpool versus Aston Villa should have been disallowed.
After Dominik Szoboszlai’s opening goal for Liverpool, Ian Wright believes Howard Webb might need to call Aston Villa and apologize.
After Trent Alexander-Arnold’s corner found Szoboslai open on the edge of the box, he fired past Villa goalkeeper Emi Martinez to score after only three minutes at Anfield.
After a quick assessment by VAR, the goal was upheld despite Mohamed Salah being in an offside position in front of Martinez. Liverpool then seized the lead.
The Villa coaching staff, who believed Martinez was obviously blocked from seeing Salah’s shot, complained about the goal call on the Premier League’s matchday live show. Arsenal legend Wright agreed, saying referee chief Webb might be forced to issue another apology.
Wright added, “What we witnessed is that Mo Salah is blocking Emi Martinez’s line of sight, so Howard Webb is definitely going to need to make another call this week at some point because that is offside and that is impeding Emi Martins.
I’m saying, “I don’t understand any more.”
No time to talk about goals, excellent plays, or critical moments since all we talk about in the studio is VAR rulings, he would later add on Twitter. Boring. Only one incidence after another. destroying the fun of the game.
