Sadio Mane was tried for drifting offside during preparation, much to the frustration of Liverpool Henderson pattern.

Speaking to Sky Sports after the game, Henderson suggested that VAR officials “bend the lines” to not allow goals.

“It must be offside with the VAR, it’s what everyone wants,” Henderson said.

“I think sometimes they bend the lines to make it offside. I’m not sure how they do it, I’ve seen it before.

“It is disappointing that we do not have the victory. I think the performance was very good and we deserved to win the game. I think Everton will be happier with the draw. “

Klopp gives verdict on a fighting matter
