His reaction makes the result even better

Most enjoyable win in a good few months that. Those spuds are awful sour fckers, the head of them leaving the pitch.

All they've got up there is the big guy Sigurd, Sigthorsson....

Sweet win.  Were switched on from the start.  Kane should have crouched under that Bobby header.

That looked offside to me based on the ludicrous hair-splitting they've been engaging in.

Hopefully a sign of things to come given that it was allowed to stand.

Funny how it usually takes a good 5 minutes to determine a Liverpool goal offside but that took less than 30 seconds??!!

That's the way it should be though.

If it's a mm or a toe here and there, it should go with the attacker rather than spending minutes trying to figure it out.

Agreed.  If it takes 3 or 4 mins to make a decision on a tight call it's hardly clear and obvious!

I actually prefer the way the Dier handball and the Son offside decisions were dealt with tonight, hopefully a  sign of things for the rest of the season, but just totally inconsistent with the way the rules have been applied up to now.

It took the VAR ones longer to try to rule Bobbys goal out than Sons in....

I read somewhere this morning that the reason the SON decision was taken so quickly was because the reference points for both players were feet planted on the ground there was no need for the 3d correlation, perpendicular lines etc. If that's the case and it was deemed onside so be it.

On the Henderson/Dier coming together I have not yet seen a decent view but it looks like it was deliberate where Henderson ran across Dier's line but he did not grab him. Not sure how Dier ended up on the ground but I have not seen any angle that would definitely warrant a free being awarded. What I would say is that there was definitely less of a case for a free than the Salah "push" before the Fulham goal on Saturday that got looked at for about 10 seconds even though there were multiple angles.

If that had been chalked off then you would be in the bizarre situation where you would be encouraging defenders to start throwing themselves to the ground in the box at set pieces if they are not directly involved in the contest for the ball just in case a forward is deemed to have contacted them.

Edit: Just saw an aerial shot that looks like Hendo gave him a "bump". Not sure it was enough for the fall though

[blewuporstuffed]

I think Dier went down theatrically looking for it. There was contact from Henderson surely, but he made a meal of it looking a  soft free out and got caught out
