Outrage Erupts as Liverpool Denied Clear Penalty in Fulham Defeat!
Shocking VAR failure sparks fury as Diop’s foul on Núñez goes unpunished.
Liverpool fans were left seething after what seemed like a clear-cut penalty for a foul on Darwin Núñez was ignored by the referee — and even more shockingly, VAR failed to intervene. Replays showed clear contact as Issa Diop collided with Núñez’s ankle, but with no touch on the ball.
Football pundits and ex-referee Dermot Gallagher couldn’t fathom the decision. “That’s a stonewall penalty,” he said during the post-match analysis. Even Jürgen Klopp voiced his disbelief: “If that’s not a penalty, I don’t know what is,” he raged. “We’re not just fighting opponents — we’re fighting decisions that make no sense.”
The anger from fans was instant and intense across social media, with #JusticeForLiverpool and #VAROut trending soon after.
> “This is corruption at its finest,” one fan tweeted.
“VAR is ruining football. What’s the point if they ignore clear fouls like that?” another wrote.
“This referee needs to be investigated. Enough is enough.”
With Champions League qualification hanging in the balance, the blunder could prove crucial in Liverpool’s top-four race. Fans are calling for the FA to address the egregious officiating error, but with no answers in sight, the pressure is mounting for the league to act — because fans are done
staying quiet.
