However, former Brighton goalkeeper Sanchez appeared to get a touch on the ball.

Premier League Match Centre said: "The referee awarded a penalty to Liverpool for a foul by Sanchez on Jones. 

“The VAR deemed that Sanchez won the ball and no foul was committed and recommended an on-field review. 

“The referee overturned the original decision and play restarted with a drop ball."
