‘Robbed’ – Liverpool fans rage as TWO goals at Burnley get disallowed

Liverpool fans have been left perplexed as to why the decision to disallow Cody Gakpo’s goal at Burnley wasn’t overturned.

The Reds travel to Turf Moor knowing at least a point would take them to the top of the Premier League, and got off to an electric start through Darwin Nunez’s brilliant goal on six minutes.

His goal was assisted by Gakpo and the Dutchman thought he had scored for himself later in the first-half.

However, his finish was not allowed to stand as referee Paul Tierney spotted a foul in the build-up.

Nunez was adjudged to have fouled Charlie Taylor inside the area and VAR also took a look, with the goal remaining chalked off.

However, Liverpool fans on social media were angered and one took to X to say: “What’s wrong with the goal?!? Gakpo robbed.”

“Very soft there, Gakpo goal disallowed,” added another.

A third, with laughing emojis, said: “Gakpo should have a goal and two assists in 33 minutes.”

“Why was Gakpo goal disallowed because VAR showed that Nunez didn’t touch the Burnley player,” said a fourth.

The Reds went in at half time 1-0 up having missed a catalogue of chances to double their advantage, including Mohamed Salah’s strike rattling Clarets goalkeeper James Trafford’s crossbar.
