Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk was shown a yellow card after fouling Odsonne Edouard in the box.

However, Andy Madley’s decision to award the spot-kick was overturned after a VAR intervention.

Will Hughes was deemed to have fouled Wataru Endo in the build-up, so Liverpool were instead awarded a free kick and Van Dijk’s booking was overturned.

Hodgson was then spotted spitting next to the dugout in frustration.

Some fans picked up on it, with one person tweeting: “Not sure what’s more shocking: the fact Andy Madley didn’t think that was a foul initially or the fact Roy Hodgson just SPAT on the floor in his technical area.”

While another wrote: “He just did WHAT in his technical area?”

However, VAR did come to the rescue for Palace during the second half.

Jean-Philippe Mateta went down following a challenge from Jarell Quansah in the Liverpool box, with Madley initially dismissing his concerns.

But after taking another look, Madley reversed the call to give Palace the penalty and Mateta fired his team into a 1-0 lead.

Palace striker Jordan Ayew was then sent off after receiving two yellow cards and Liverpool went on to complete a comeback, winning 2-1 thanks to goals from Mo Salah and Harvey Elliott.
