Liverpool dropped two points against Manchester United on Sunday at Old Trafford.
The league leaders had won 8 out of the 8 games this season and were looking to win a 9th one on the trot. However, out of form Manchester United pulled out a magic rabbit and managed to lead them 1-0 in the first half. But everyone was not impressed with the goal.
Least of all it was Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp who felt that the goal should not have stood.
“The ref let the game run because he had VAR, but the VAR said it was not clear, so he could say it was not a foul so I don’t overrule it. It doesn’t make sense,” the Liverpool boss said.
“I calmed everybody down because I saw immediately. Mr Atkinson, he saw it could be a goal and he immediately [signalled] VAR. I said to the coaches they were checking, I was 100% sure VAR would overrule it.
“It’s a clear VAR issue in how we deal with it. I’m not angry. I saw it clear, it was a foul. In England you sometimes say it’s proper football. I’m sure with no VAR Mr Atkinson would give it, but now somebody else [can make] the decision he lets it go but nobody makes the decision.”
“Like the Man City penalty, it’a 100% a penalty. They sit in the studio and see it,” Klopp said.
