WHAT HAPPENED?
Despite the Reds getting the three points and staying top of the Premier League, manager Slot was not happy with some of the decisions that went against his side. One included a spot-kick being taken away from the Reds after it was deemed goalkeeper Robert Sanchez didn’t foul Curtis Jones and another was when Tosin Adarabioyo was shown a yellow card for pulling back Diogo Jota as he threatened to bear down on goal. After the contest, the Dutchman hinted Liverpool would have won more comfortably if the officials took a different stance.
