Wirtz didn't argue and it seemed that Liverpool were going to be denied for a second time after Cody Gakpo had earlier scored an offside goal. A statement from the Premier League match centre read: "VAR checked the referee’s call of no goal – and established that Wirtz was in an onside position and recommended that the goal was awarded." In the first half Harry Wilson put Fulham 1-0 up from a pass by Raul Jimenez, only to see the flag go up. But like Wirtz, his goal was eventually allowed to stand following a check by the officials at Stockley Park. The goal was ruled out for offside before VAR showed that Virgil van Dijk had in fact been playing Wilson onside as the last man.

The reason behind self-sabotaging behaviours is because of survival instincts, a psychologist has claimed'Our brain would rather we were the arbiter of our downfall than risk being floored by something external. Common self-sabotaging behaviours include procrastination, perfectionism and pessimism, he says. It's important to understand these mechanisms behind self-sabotaging behaviours, which he dubbed 'controlled explosion' rather than trying to eliminate them, he says.

Enzo Fernandez grabs last-gasp equaliser as Chelsea deal title blow to Man CityBy Andy Hampson, Press AssociationEnzo Fernandez grabbed a stoppage-time equaliser as managerless Chelsea snatched a 1-1 draw at title-chasing Manchester City. That prompted City to lift the tempo and Phil Foden showed nice footwork in the area before dragging an effort wide. Chelsea went close to levelling after the break but Pedro Neto spurned the chance after good work by Fernandez and Cole Palmer. City suffered a blow as Josko Gvardiol limped off injured, although there was a touch of good sportsmanship as Chelsea captain Reece James helped the Croatian off the field. Haaland ran at the Chelsea defence before having a shot blocked by Badiashile and former City striker Liam Delap forced a save from Gianluigi Donnarumma at the other end.
