Confusion surrounds VAR again as it is claimed officials did NOT check whether Fabinho had fouled Oli McBurnie and instead only looked at if it was outside the box... only for under-fire Premier League to come out and insist they did look at both elements

There was yet more VAR controversy in Liverpool's match against Sheffield United on Saturday when the Blades were awarded a penalty in the first half of the Reds' 2-1 win.

The referee had originally given a free kick just outside the area but the Video Assistant Referee upgraded it to a penalty based on where the foul happened.

It was initially claimed that officials did not check whether Fabinho had actually fouled Oli McBurnie in the first place and instead only looked at whether it was outside the box.

However the Premier League later revealed they did look at both elements and ruled that giving a foul was not a clear and obvious error.
