The African player looked up and sent a cross past the far post. In that spot, Núñez headed towards the goal, but was interrupted by Ruben Dias. The ball, after the ‘charrúa’'s shot, hit the hand of the Portuguese player. However, the referee ordered the game to continue. Nevertheless, the intervention of technology was decisive.
The match referee reviewed the action on the VAR monitor and rectified himself to sanction the penalty in favor of Liverpool. So, ‘Mo’ Salah took charge of taking that execution shortly before the end in Leicester. The ‘Reds’ striker hit the ball close to the post, where Ederson flew but couldn't prevent the second goal for Anfield's team.
