Liverpool didn’t deserve anything from their trip to Toulouse but thought they had salvaged a point thanks to a stoppage time strike from Jarrell Quansah.
Reds hearts were broken, however, with referee Georgi Kabakov deciding their was a handball by Alexis Mac Allister in the build-up to the goal.
A lot happened after the Argentine made contact with the ball, with numerous passes of the ball and a goal mouth scramble, but the Bulgarian rather bizarrely ruled out the goal to hand Toulouse all three points.

Jurgen Klopp’s side were far from their best but battled until the very end and should’ve came away with a point from Stadium de Toulouse.
It’s confusing as to what the actual rules of VAR now are but to see a goal ruled out for something so minute – and so early on in the build-up to the goal – is disappointing.
Our German tactician had words with the referee on the pitch at full-time and it’s fair to say he didn’t look very happy.

20-year-old Jarell Quansah thought he scored the equalizer in the final minute of stoppage time for Liverpool.
The goal was overturned due to an Alexis Mac Allister handball, and Toulouse won 3-2.

Might as well do without a ref with VAR. Just have some bloke with a megaphone shouting decisions, it’s the way things are going. He will need chair though whilst waiting for the information to come through.
