According to former Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg, referee Paul Tierney and VAR Simon Hooper were wrong in disallowing only one of Liverpool’s two goals during their 2-0 win against Burnley on Boxing Day. Cody Gakpo and Harvey Elliott both had goals ruled out, with Gakpo’s disallowed for a supposed foul from Darwin Nunez on Charlie Taylor, and Elliott’s dismissed due to an offside from Mohamed Salah. Clattenburg disagreed with the decision to disallow Gakpo’s goal, stating that there was little evidence of a foul, while he could see fault in the decision to rule out Elliott’s goal due to Salah’s offside position.
