Liverpool supporters endured a frustrating weekend at the hands of VAR but they are the only fanbase to have been apologised to by referees.

Little of the frustration felt across Merseyside on Saturday after a blatant VAR error cost Liverpool dearly against Tottenham Hotspur has subsided in the days since.

Liverpool have issued a statement of intent towards seeking further action with the audio recording of the VAR decision now made public, highlighting the calamitous nature of the incident.

It's not the first time the refereeing technology has riled fans since its introduction in 2019. Incorrect VAR decisions have led to apologies to clubs in the past and LiverpoolWorld runs through those instances.
