Liverpool has made a strong start to the Premier League under new manager Arne Slot, winning all three of their opening matches, including a decisive 3-0 victory against Manchester United. Despite their success, fans are frustrated by a controversial VAR decision during the match, where a potential penalty for a foul on Cody Gakpo was not awarded. Referee Anthony Taylor allowed play to continue, believing the foul occurred outside the box, but replays indicated the contact happened within the penalty area. Former Liverpool striker Neil Mellor expressed confusion over why VAR did not intervene, as the protocol typically allows for such reviews in penalty situations. While the incident did not affect the game's outcome, it has reignited discussions about the inconsistent application of VAR in the league. Liverpool aims to maintain their winning streak against Nottingham Forest after the international break.
