Liverpool manager Arne Slot believes that Darren England, the main referee for his team’s match against Everton (2:1) in the 5th round of the English Championship, made the right decision by adding three minutes of stoppage time in the second half.

— A lot has already been said about the added time in the match against Everton, but I would have been happy if my team played 34 seconds longer because at that moment five Liverpool players were breaking out on a counter-attack. Three minutes were added absolutely correctly, as there were only three stoppages in the match.

No one was wasting time because we don’t engage in that, no one received medical assistance, only one goal was scored. Hence the three minutes. However, in other matches, when we need a goal, the opponents often resort to football tricks, — said Arne Slot.

Let’s recall that after the Merseyside derby, David Moyes and Jack Grealish criticized the actions of the referee who added three minutes to the second half.
