Liverpool endured a chaotic end to the first half of their Premier League clash with Brentford as a penalty decision was overturned, a goal was conceded and a Brentford player was sent off.
Penalty overturned and Brentford take the lead
Andoni Iraola's side thought they had been awarded a spot-kick after a foul on Alexis Mac Allister, but VAR intervened and the initial call was overturned.
Just three minutes later, Keane Lewis-Potter put the Bees in front, but Liverpool will fancy their chances of grabbing an equaliser in the second half after a red card was shown to Yehor Yarmoliuk for moving his head towards Jeremy Jacquet.
Referee consults monitor before sending off
It looked as though the midfielder had gotten away with his action, but referee John Brooks was then called to the monitor and, after watching the incident, decided to send him off just before the interval.
Liverpool also lost Dominik Szoboszlai to injury midway through the first half, with the Hungary international absent for the last two games due to hamstring tightness.
