Liverpool and Chelsea are clashing in a match from the seventh round of the English Premier League. The first half ended with a narrow advantage for the Blues, and alongside Caicedo's spectacular goal, another incident drew close attention.
In the 39th minute, Garnacho burst into Liverpool's penalty area and went down after contact with Szoboszlai. Anthony Taylor signaled that there would be no penalty, but still turned to VAR for assistance.
After consulting his assistant, the referee stood by his initial decision, and Enzo Maresca was shown a yellow card for dissent.
Recall that earlier, in the match between Manchester United and Sunderland, the Red Devils kept their first clean sheet of the season. This happened in the debut match of Belgian goalkeeper Senne Lammens.
