TOTI GOMES saw his late goal against Liverpool bizarrely ruled out by VAR for offside – but NOBODY understands why.
The Wolves defender flicked home Hwang Hee-chan’s shot and looked to have completely an impressive turnaround.

But following a lengthy check from the technology, the goal was chalked off.
The decision led to an angry reaction from Julen Lopetegui, who was booked for his protests.
While the ITV commentators were also confused as to why the goal was disallowed.
Gomes was clearly onside when the initial crossed was played over by Matheus Nunes.
And he was also in a legal position when Hwang struck towards goal.
Fans were equally as baffled on social media.
One said: “Being completely honest I have no idea why that 3rd Wolves goal has been disallowed? 
.”
A second admitted: “How @Wolves 3rd goal be disallowed when it was a clear goal. How VAR make such calls. Totally robbed.”
A third chimed in with: “Someone explain to me how that Wolves disallowed goal was offside please? I’m guessing his shadow was offside or summet?”
After the game, the ITV panel were informed that it wasn’t Gomes who had been penalised.
It was in fact Nunes who was in an offside position.
But they was no camera angle available to viewers to prove Nunes was offside when the ball was played back out to him.
This all came after Mohamed Salah’s goal was awarded when he found himself in an offside position.
But the Liverpool winger’s strike stood because Gomes attempted to go for the ball, eventually heading into the Egyptian’s path.
Had the young defender left the ball, Salah would have been seen his goal ruled out.
