Referee John Brooks awarded the Reds a spot kick initially, although Chelsea goalkeeper was eventually deemed to have not fouled Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones
The Premier League have explained the decision to chalk off a second Liverpool penalty in the clash with Chelsea on Sunday. A foul was initially awarded by the referee before VAR sent the official to the monitor. John Brooks then decided to change his decision, with Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez initially deemed to have fouled Reds midfielder Curtis Jones.
'The VAR deemed that Sanchez won the ball and no foul was committed and recommended an on-field review. The referee overturned the original decision and play restarted with a drop ball.' Liverpool had already been awarded one penalty in the game, with Levi Colwill clearly bringing down Jones in the area. Mohamed Salah , who had an earlier appeal turned down too, converted.
