Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven had rushed over in a desperate attempt to block a shot from Alexander Isak.
The Liverpool striker was too quick, firing into the corner to open the scoring at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
While Isak came away with a goal, he also faces an extended period on the sidelines after being injured in the process.
Was it an inevitable collision between striker and defender? Or was there a case for a red card to Van de Ven?
Rightly or wrongly, defenders are rarely penalised for their challenges after a shot is struck by an attacker. These are tackles which you would expect to be punished if they happened elsewhere on the pitch.
The Premier League's Key Match Incidents (KMI) panel voted 3-2 that Manchester City should have been awarded a penalty at Newcastle last month.
Fabian Schar had kicked through the boot of Phil Foden after he had taken a shot, but there was no VAR intervention.
As Isak scored there is obviously no case for a penalty. But could the VAR have deemed it a red card for serious foul play?
