Explained in plain English

Were the goals checked by VAR?

All goals in the Premier League, including Liverpool's two against Brighton, are automatically reviewed by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR). This technology checks for offside, fouls, and other infringements that might invalidate a goal, ensuring fair play and accurate decision-making in high-stakes matches.
