Liverpool beat Wolves 2-1 in their Premier League clash at Anfield on Wednesday .

Mohamed Salah scored a penalty to give Liverpool the lead in the 58th minute.

Diogo Jota was awarded a penalty after being brought down by Wolves defender Emmanuel Agbadou .

Luis Díaz was brought down in the 35th minute for a challenge on José Sá .

The VAR , John Brooks , has been used in five Premier League games so far this season .

Liverpool thought they'd scored a third goal in the 51st minute when Mohamed Salah was played in with a long ball over the top.

As soon as the Egypt international put the ball in the net the flag was raised for offside.

The VAR was able to identify from the halfway line tactical camera that Salah wasn't in front of the last defender and as such it wasn't necessary to apply the offside lines.

However, we weren't shown this on the television coverage.

Jean-Philippe Mateta equalised for Crystal Palace in the 47th minute .
