Liverpool fans are crying foul.
Just before the quarter-hour mark in the opening match between Liverpool and Bournemouth (Matchday 1 of the Premier League), Cherries defender Marcos Senesi cleared the ball with his right hand. The gesture seemed deliberate to prevent Hugo Ekitike from running alone towards the goal.
One can wonder how the VAR could ignore this hand, which seemed voluntary. The last defender rule clearly applied.
One thing is certain: we have the first VAR controversy of the 2025-26 English league season.
Do you think Senesi deserved a direct red card for this action?
