BT Sport pundit Joleon Lescott has slammed the ‘ridiculous’ decision not to rule out Antoine Griezmann’s first goal for Atletico Madrid against Liverpool.
Liverpool had a comfortable 2-0 lead before the Frenchman got one back for the hosts after 20 minutes, before bagging an equaliser 14 minutes later.
After Griezmann’s first goal there was a VAR review, with a check to see if French team-mate Thomas Lemar was offside before the ball went into the net.

Lemar started the move by getting the better of Naby Keita on the left flank before finding Koke who saw his shot converted into the back of the net by Griezmann.
Joel Matip looked like he attempted to clear the ball just as it was going into the net though Lemar ran from an offside position over the ball just as the Liverpool defender looked to connect with the ball.
Former Manchester City defender Lescott, said it was ‘frustrating’ not to see the goal overturned.
