Sky Sports believe they have proved conclusively that the ball did not cross the line for Liverpool’s winning goal in the Champions League semi-final against Chelsea.

Sky Sports believe they have proved conclusively that the ball did not cross the line for Liverpool’s winning goal in the Champions League semi-final against Chelsea.

Luis Garcia was credited with the only goal which separated the two teams over 180 minutes of football and claimed a place in the Istanbul final for Rafael Benitez’s side.

But, although it will be little consolation to Chelsea and their supporters, Sky Sports have used digital technology to calculate that William Gallas did hook the Spaniard’s shot away before the whole of the ball crossed the line.
