The VAR for Liverpool's 3-0 dismantling of Man United on Sunday has been told that they made a 'baffling' mistake.<br /><br />New Reds manager Arne Slot made it three wins from three as his side cruised to a 3-0 victory at Old Trafford.<br /><br />Luis Diaz netted twice before Mo Salah sealed the three points with a crisp finish as Erik ten Hag found himself back under huge pressure.<br /><br />And it could have been more if an incident during the second half had been reviewed.<br /><br />United's new boy Noussair Mazraoui appeared to catch Cody Gakpo from behind in the area, but referee Anthony Taylor played the advantage, resulting in Darwin Nunez shooting wide.<br /><br /><br />Replays showed the challenge was made in the area and former Liverpool striker Neil Mellor believes VAR should have stepped in to award the penalty.<br /><br />VAR John Brooks and assistant Harry Lennard did not review it and Mellor was left baffled<br /><br />He tweeted two images to justify his thoughts, writing: 'Referee sees foul on Gakpo and indicates advantage… Nunez shoots wide,' Mellor wrote.<br /><br />'Contact was inside the area… so why hasn't VAR told him he was right and contact in the area so it should be a pen? Baffling decision.'<br /><br />The decision had little impact on the result with United well beaten by their rivals on the day.<br />
