In Thursday’s Europa League group stage matchday 4 match in France against Toulouse, Jarrel Quansah’s goal was incorrectly disallowed as the referee, assisted by the VAR, determined that there had previously been a handball by the Argentine Alexis Mac Allister, which did not occur. This is just another example of how refereeing has harmed Liverpool.
The Argentine midfielder was accused of a handball in the replay, which is why Bulgarian referee Georgi Kabakov declined to validate the goal that had fallen at the last minute of the game. However, after examining a number of shots, there is a particular one in which it is evident that the ball never touches Macca’s arm, meaning the equaliser should have counted.
It was at the continental level, and it was obvious that the goal scored by our defender should have counted, giving us a unit to continue looking for the qualification to the next round of the tournament, just as it has happened with the refereeing in the Premier League, where both the VAR and the referees have harmed Liverpool with different decisions.
Mac Allister’s assertion
Alexis Mac Allister, an Argentine, had a brief altercation with the Bulgarian referee following his decision. He claimed that he had not committed a handball, but the referee simply disregarded his claims. Later in the game, a few players approached Mac Allister to help him realise the ridiculous mistake that had hurt Liverpool.
