On November 12, according to the "Daily Mail" report, the Premier League referee program released a live recording of Van Dyke's goal being disallowed.

In the 38th minute of the Manchester City 3-0 Liverpool match, Van Dijk scored with a header, but VAR determined that Robertson was in an offside position and the goal was invalidated.

After Van Dijk scored, the assistant referee could be heard shouting: "Robertson, Robertson, Robertson. Robertson blocked the view, he was in front of the goalkeeper, he lowered his head to try to avoid the ball, and was very close to the goalkeeper. I think he blocked the goalkeeper's view, I think the goalkeeper was interfered with "

Referee Kavanagh responded: "Okay, so it's offside?" The assistant referee replied: "I think it's offside." Then, the video assistant referee team led by Oliver intervened, and they first determined whether Robertson was offside, and then whether to interfere with Donnarumma.

Oliver said: "Confirm the penalty on the field. Robertson was offside. He was in an offside position, very close to the goalkeeper, and made obvious movements in front of the goalkeeper. Check completed. Offside."
