SEVEN MINUTES OF MADNESS

-

75.38 PENALTY (Maybe)!

Harvey Barnes is upended by Thiago on the edge of the box. Referee Anthony Taylor points to the penalty spot, but a check by VAR Stuart Attwell says the foul had happened millimetre­s outside the box. Free-kick.

77.52 GOAL (Maybe)!

If Liverpool thought they’d been reprieved, how wrong they were. James Maddison whips in the free-kick and finds the bottom corner. Leicester celebrate — until they spot that the assistant’s flag has gone up.

79.30 GOAL (Definitely)

1-1 A VAR check determines that the player in the offside position, Daniel Amartey, was actually being played onside by Roberto Firmino’s foot. The goal is awarded.

80.50 GOAL 2-1

Catastroph­e for the champions as Alisson comes charging out of his box a minute later to deal with a long punt and simply toes into the path of Jamie Vardy, who says thanks very much.

84.39 GOAL 3-1

And there’s worse to come, this time Barnes racing clear and finding the corner of the net to put the lid on a disastrous spell for Liverpool.

 ??  ?? JEEPERS KEEPERS: Alisson swings and misses, nearly colliding with Kabak IT WAS the most astonishin­g collapse of the Jurgen Klopp reign — seven minutes of utter madness as Liverpool slumped from 1-0 up to 3-1 down. Oh, and VAR played its part in the drama, inevitably.
