Manchester United beat Nottingham Forest 1-0 in the FA Cup on Wednesday courtesy of a dramatic late goal from Casemiro. That set up a quarterfinal meeting with Liverpool at Old Trafford in a little over two weeks’ time (stream LIVE on ESPN+).
Yet it caused much consternation among Liverpool fans, who felt that Virgil van Dijk had a goal wrongly ruled out for offside through a VAR intervention three days earlier in the Reds’ 1-0 win against Chelsea in the final of the Carabao Cup.

Possible offside: Varane on Casemiro goal
What happened: Manchester United had a free kick on the left flank in the 89th minute. Bruno Fernandes delivered to the near post and Casemiro stole in ahead of the defence to nod past goalkeeper Matt Turner. As the players ran off to celebrate, the VAR checked for a possible offside against Raphaël Varane.
VAR decision: Goal stands.
