Rio Ferdinand was convinced it should have been a penalty to Liverpool

Darwin Nunez fired the travelling side into the lead in the 27th minute as he tapped home from close range.

The striker was then in the thick of it again in the 38th minute after he went down in the box.

The Uruguayan was running to the ball and was tripped by defender Willi Orban in the box.

According to replays, Nunez was pulled down by the Hungarian after he reached the ball first.

Rio Ferdinand was taken aback at halftime when VAR rejected the penalty call.

Speaking on TNT Sports, he said: “I do not know how VAR have looked at this and said no.

“VAR would have seen that angle and said no, I cannot believe it.”

Co-pundit Steve McManaman agreed as he argued that there should have been a spot-kick.

He added: “Of course it is a penalty.

“There’s the contact, Nunez works hard, and made it himself, for what should have been a penalty.”

VAR reviewed the ruling, but Nunez’s petition was denied even after a second review.

The referee’s failure to point to the spot infuriated fans on social media.

One posted: “How is that not a penalty?”

A second wrote: “People who say no need a new pair of glasses.”

A third commented: “Stone waller.”

A fourth said: “So refs and VAR are incompetent all across Europe huh?”

Another added: “How this isn’t a pen is beyond me.”
