Christian Benteke's controversial winner for Liverpool against Bournemouth on Monday should not have stood, the Premier League has admitted.
Benteke's close-range goal at Anfield was allowed to stand by referee Craig Pawson despite team-mate Philippe Coutinho having been stood in an offside position and attempting to play the ball. The strike handed the Reds a 1-0 win as they maintained their 100% start to the season.
The decision was widely criticised after changes to the interpretation of the offside rule this summer and the Premier League, in conjunction with referees' body PGMOL, has clarified the situation, accepting an error was made.
The goal also came under the microscope in our weekly REF REVIEW, with our panel deciding unanimously that the strike should not have been allowed to stand.
