On a night that will be remembered as one of the Premier Leagueâs most controversial, Gary Neville erupted live on broadcast, accusing the latest refereeing controversy involving Liverpool of being nothing short of âoutright corruption.â The football world was stunned as a sequence of officiating blunders denied Liverpool vital points against Manchester City.

The chaos unfolded in the second half when a seemingly legitimate goal from Mohamed Salah was ruled offside â a call that VAR then failed to re-evaluate properly. The moment the incident hit the screens, social media exploded, and millions demanded accountability from both the Premier League and PGMOL. Neville, visibly enraged, declared:
âThis is no longer human error. This is corruption â absolutely blatant. Someone must be held responsible.â

Jamie Carragher joined the backlash, describing the episode as âa disgrace to English football.â He insisted that the refereeing body release the full audio between match officials and the VAR team, stating:
âWe canât just ignore this and move on. There must be transparency â fans deserve answers.â
Liverpool manager Arne Slot, furious during his post-match interview, demanded a full investigation. âHow is this possible in 2025 with all our technology and protocols?â he asked. âIf this were any other club, it would dominate headlines for weeks. Weâre simply asking for fairness.â

Online platforms erupted with hashtags such as #JusticeForLiverpool and #VARcorruption, trending worldwide within minutes. Thousands flooded the Premier Leagueâs official channels, accusing officials of bias and calling for suspensions. Even neutral fans labeled the incident âindefensibleâ and âan embarrassment to the sport.â
Behind closed doors, Liverpoolâs legal representatives are reportedly reviewing video angles and communication records to decide whether to submit a formal complaint. If they proceed, it could trigger one of the most significant VAR inquiries in league history.
As anger continues to escalate, one thing is certain: this controversy has shaken the credibility of English football. Nevilleâs explosive remarks echoed what many supporters felt â has the game crossed the line between simple mistakes and deliberate manipulation?
