‘Welbeck said it wasn’t a penalty!’ – Henderson fumes at VAR after Liverpool are held by Brighton

The Reds captain was left frustrated at the Amex Stadium, with the defending Premier League champions dropping two points after a late penalty

Jordan Henderson was left fuming at VAR after Liverpool were denied victory at Brighton by a late penalty call, with Seagulls striker Danny Welbeck admitting that a spot-kick award was “soft”.

Jurgen Klopp’s side appeared to have avoided any arguments against technology as they entered stoppage-time at the Amex Stadium.

Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane had seen goals ruled out for offside on the south coast, but in-form Diogo Jota made one opportunity count and had Liverpool on course for a hard-fought win.
