The Wolves substitute bench were unhappy with the decision, as it went to a VAR check. The video assistant reviewed the footage and deemed that the correct decision had been made.
Matheus Nunes was taking a corner for Wolves, before the ball was played back into him as the phase of play developed into the ball going into the net. It was with the return pass that Nunes was stood in an offside position, which led to the decision to disallow the goal.
Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah had scored the earlier goals for Liverpool in the match. But they were cancelled out by strikes from Goncalo Guedes and Hwang Hee-chan.
The match finished 2-2, and Liverpool will now be forced to take part in a replay of the clash at Molineux. An exact date for the tie is yet to be confirmed.
