Why Liverpool Fans Are Talking About Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's Goal Against Schalke

Liverpool fans are drawing comparisons between Dominic Solanke's disallowed goal to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's effort in the Ruhr derby in which he also handled the ball before scoring.

Jurgen Klopp and Co. were all left frustrated following the goalless draw against West Brom in the Premier League on Wednesday night. Despite Liverpool's feared attacking quartet starting, they failed to net.

The German boss also drafted on Solanke who did hit the back of the net, only for his goal to be ruled out for handball.

Solanke, 20, wheeled away in celebration as he didn't intentionally hit the ball with his arm. Though the referee adjudged the England star to have handled, subsequently disallowing the goal.

And following the game, the Liverpool faithfuls recalled Aubameyang's effort against Schalke.

The Gabon marksman did not deliberately touch the ball thus the goal stood when it went to VAR.
