Former England defender Gary Neville said VAR "killed one of the moments of the season" after disallowing Rayan Cherki's injury-time goal in Manchester City's dramatic 2-1 win at Liverpool. Roy Keane believes City's win will be worth more than three points as they aim to chase down Arsenal. "The manager Pep spoke before about needing to show personality and character and this City team showed that, particularly in the second half. "When you are looking at the league for Liverpool, it is looking like a long way to get Champions League positions in the top five," he said. "They are in two cup competitions that they will have to do well in to save the season, it looks a long way back."
