Norwich manager Daniel Farke talks about Sadio Mane’s goal during the clash on Saturday.
“I don’t complain because I’ve learned this season so far that VAR never works in our favour,” said the Norwich boss.
“If the referee had given a free-kick for a push on Mane then it wouldn’t have been overturned by VAR.
“He allowed the goal, and for that we thought it wasn’t a clear and obvious mistake. But it was also down to the unbelievable quality of Mane.
“He knows exactly when he has to be there, a little hit on the centre-back to get him off balance, and it was a top-class first touch and a world-class finish.
“But no complaints from my side. We accept this goal.
“The referee allowed the goal, and then VAR can only overrule if it is a clear and obvious mistake.
“You could argue it wasn’t hard enough but there was a push definitely, but you could say it’s not 100% a mistake.
“There was definitely a push. But the referee made a decision and, like I said, no complaints.”
Farke further admits that Norwich did miss a pretty big chance to score.
“The first half we had the situation of two against their goalkeeper, and that must be a goal,” admitted Farke.
“Our chance was much bigger than their goal, but they were able to score.
“That’s the difference in terms of individual quality because it was definitely a moment of magic.
“Because of that one moment of magic from Mane, we lost.”
