Jeremie Frimpong, the former Manchester City youth player now plying his trade at Bayer Leverkusen, was involved in a dramatic moment during his team’s recent clash with Liverpool.
The Dutch right-back appeared to score a brilliant goal, giving Leverkusen the lead in a highly anticipated match. However, the celebration was short-lived as the referee ruled it out after a handball was detected during the buildup.
Frimpong had found space in the box and received a precise pass, calmly placing the ball past Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson. The Leverkusen players celebrated, believing they had broken the deadlock, but their joy was quickly halted as the referee consulted with the assistant referee.
A VAR review followed, revealing that Frimpong had handled the ball while controlling it before scoring. The decision sparked mixed reactions from both players and fans. Leverkusen’s players were disappointed, while many Liverpool supporters felt relieved by the VAR intervention.
Despite his frustration, Frimpong, who has been in excellent form this season, quickly refocused on the match. Both teams continued to battle for control in what was an intense and competitive game. Frimpong’s performance, despite the disallowed goal, highlighted his skill and determination, confirming his importance to the team.
