Graham, should they have any complaints on this?
So that's VAR working?
They had to check whether he was offside, whether he had blown the whistle before the ball was in the back of the net.
Because if it was...
We're told that Connor Cody, the Wolves captain, and one of the assistant coaches have gone to the referees' room right now to try and get clarity on what they've seen out there today.
Can we give them any clarity on this?
Is there any doubt in your mind, Matt, having seen this, why it was disallowed?
I will get your thoughts in just a moment, but just before going into the referees' room, Conor Cody has spoken to us with Greg Whelan.
It's brilliant to get that level of insight from a man who's been out there and communicating with the referee throughout the 90 minutes there.
On the Virgil van Dijk handball, incidentally, we did hear from the VAR hub that they had looked at it in the build-up to that first goal, and where it was wasn't relevant, but they said the evidence was inconclusive, and I think you've all agreed yourselves.
I think football fans, when they see the lines come out, their hearts sink.
Especially when you see celebrations like we've seen today and then suddenly they're being ruled out for millimetres, Jamie.
What's your take on it?
It's not BAR, is it?
Well, Wolves' terrific away run has come to an end here, unbeaten in seven before slipping up at Anfield.
Let's hear from Nuno Espirito Santa with Greg Whelan.
Well, he doesn't want to talk about it, but he has said repeatedly on VAR, and he said it after the Manchester City game a couple of nights ago, that he wants the referees to be empowered to make these decisions.
He doesn't want the intervention of VAR, which is here now, whether he likes it or not.
But had we gone with the referees' decisions today, Matt, I suppose Wolves would have won 1-0 on what we saw.
But would that have been the wrong result?
