Liverpool's Wataru Endo escaped a red card against Brentford despite a lengthy VAR check.

The midfielder caught Christian Norgaard with a studs up tackle, which was not given as a free-kick on the field at the time.

talkSPORT reporter Matt Jones said: "Endo won the ball, but left a stud mark on Norgaard. VAR checked it, but the referee did not get sent to the monitor.

"I first thought it was a fine tackle, but they are ones that have been given this season."

The incident comes three days after Endo escaped a red in the Reds' Europa League defeat to Toulouse.

Liverpool won the game 3-0 against the Bees thanks to two goals by Mohamed Salah and a long-range effort from Diogo Jota.

Alexander-Arnold picked out Nunez on the edge of the area and he laid off to Mohamed Salah who tucked a shot past Mark Flekken and inside the far post for a goal of brilliant simplicity.

There was a potentially questionable line decision in the 63rd minute as Konstantinos Tsimikas' cross to the far post looked to have gone out before Salah headed home, which was why there were muted celebrations for the Egyptian's landmark 200th goal in English club football.

The result that will see them go to second in the Premier League table.
