I think it was the right decision. The ball was there to be won... but it's still a foul.

And there is the eternal problem, people saying there was an obvious correct decision - but then saying the opposite thing.

Adam Byrne: Yet another farcical decision by VAR. That should have been a goal for Jota.

Michael Reid: Correct decision to disallow the goal - but as ever, VAR took far too long.

Wayne Ellis: Surprised that even needed a review, clear foul by Mane.

West Ham block a Liverpool shot and Andriy Yarmolenko runs it to safety. The Ukrainian had a lot of Hammers players in front of him there despite being the striker.

It wouldn't a Premier League game in 2020 without some VAR chat.

Kevin Friend disallows the goal after seeing a replay.

Sadio Mane slid in on Lukasz Fabianski and probably stopped the Pole getting to his feet to save Diogo Jota's shot.

There is a VAR check. The question is did Sadio Mane foul Lukasz Fabianski when he slid in?

The referee goes to the screen to have a look...

Those seven goals Liverpool conceded against Villa still count, it wasn't a technicality.

Gbadero T'Oluwalope: Maybe we should tone down on this Liverpool conceding 15 goals in seven. We all know it's because of their seven-goal affair at Villa. Man Utd have conceded 12 in five games too, their six goals against Spurs duly contributed.

Diogo Jota tries to find Mohamed Salah but his pass is just beyond the Egyptian and runs through to West Ham's keeper.

West Ham boss David Moyes decides to go with a pacy striker now ala Michail Antonio as Andriy Yarmolenko replaces Sebastien Haller.

Chance for the Reds. Sadio Mane holds up a ball and lays it off for Mohamed Salah, who flashes a shot wide of the far post.

JavelBleach: Liverpool’s "patience" seems to have morphed into "plodding; out of ideas".

Adam Byrne: Firmino's days are numbered, he can't continue with this level of mediocrity.

Luke: Ref needs to enforce a rule that if a player cries out in such agony from a foul, they are immediately rushed to hospital and only permitted to return to the game once a full x-ray has confirmed no broken bones.

Diogo Jota goes onto the left wing with Mohamed Salah playing centrally and Sadio Mane on the right.

Double change for Liverpool as Diogo Jota and Xherdan Shaqiri replace Curtis Jones and Roberto Firmino, who haven't had amazing performances today.

Big scare for West Ham as Lukasz Fabianski stops Andy Robertson's cross-shot from a tight angle and then forces Mohamed Salah wide with the loose ball.

Ashish Macwan: What about introducing Jota to give something different to this Liverpool attack…?

Charles Fairweather: West Ham are playing like Burnley did because they need to to get anything out of this. Chelsea used quality to overcome Burnley, Liverpool just have to do the same with West Ham. In this league no one should roll over for the 'bigger' team, otherwise what’s the point?

Pablo Fornals has had all of West Ham's three shots.

Liverpool fail to deal properly with a long ball or Sebastien Haller's knock-on and Pablo Fornals has a shot blocked.
