Paddy Power issue ‘Justice Refund’ on Liverpool bets after VAR shocker

The issue all came from Sadio Mane, who provided the pass for Henderson, as VAR adjudged the Senegalese attacker to be offside in the in the build-up.

So, Paddy Power have refunded pre-match single bets on Liverpool winning the game (T&Cs apply). Let’s face it, it’s only fair to do just that. So, even though Jurgen Klopp won’t be smiling tonight, at least those who backed Liverpool today will be.

Asked his thoughts on it all Paddy said: “I don’t want to start sounding like yer da, but the game’s gone if that was offside. It isn’t the first horror-show we’ve witnessed this season, nor will it be the last. All we can do is try and reintroduce some justice for our punters.”
