But forward Jordan Ayew was adjudged to have pushed defender Dejan Lovren meaning the home side’s dominant half was not rewarded.
Fans online fumed with the decision, insisting ‘lucky’ Liverpool were saved again.
One said: “Liverpool getting lucky with VAR again.”
Another said: “I honestly can’t believe how lucky Liverpool are.”
One added: “Embarrassing, Liverpool can’t keep getting this lucky.”
Another added: “Of course VAR rule goal against Liverpool offside….it’s Liverpool!”
It comes after Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola confronted referees after the champions lost to Liverpool this month.
City saw a penalty shout turned down after a cross ricocheted onto Trent Alexander-Arnold’s outstretched arm.
But play was waved on and Liverpool went down the other end to open the lead.
After the game went to 3-1, again a handball claim on right-back Alexander-Arnold was turned down ruling out City’s chance to pull another back from the spot.
A fuming Guardiola refused to comment about the two decisions after the game but furiously confronted officials.
