A VAR intervention helped Liverpool hit back at Tottenham in Sunday's huge Premier League title showdown at Anfield.

A goal from Luis Diaz was initially flagged offside before a check discovered that the goal should be allowed to stand.

Offside was originally given against Dominik Szoboszlai, who teed Diaz up.



But the Premier League confirmed that semi-automated offside technology had been used to correct the initial call.

They wrote in a social media post: "VAR checked the referee’s call of no goal for Liverpool - and determined that Szoboszlai was in an onside position in the build-up and recommended that the goal was awarded."

Anfield erupted when referee Thomas Bramall confirmed that the initial offside call had been overruled.

Dominic Solanke had earlier stunned Liverpool fans by breaking the deadlock with a superb header from a Spurs corner.

But it took the Reds just four minutes to draw level.

And things got even better in the 24th minute when Alexis Mac Allister turned the match on its head by firing Arne Slot's side into a priceless lead.
