Graham Poll: Dirk Kuyt's goal would not have stood in the Champions League

In the Champions League, the first Liverpool goal would probably have been incorrectly ruled out. A player cannot be offside direct from a corner, but the assistant raised his flag thinking a Liverpool player had flicked the ball on to Dirk Kuyt, making him offside.Luckily, the extra assistant, only operating in the Europa League this season, was able to tell the referee there had been no touch so the goal was, rightly, awarded.
