No VAR costs City victory

MANCHESTER City paid the price for a lack of VAR in the English league after a 1-1 draw with Wolverhampton in which Willy Boly used his arm to divert the ball into the net.

While City backed the introduction of VAR, it requires at least 14 of the 20 clubs to approve any changes in the league.

Liverpool meanwhile made it three wins and three clean sheets as the club chases its first English title since 1990, with investment in the defence and a new goalkeeper paying off.
