Liverpool head coach Arne Slot criticized the referees after the overwhelming defeat by Manchester City (0:3) in the 11th round of the English Championship. The Merseyside coach believes that the disallowed goal of Virgil van Dijk due to offside was a key moment in the game.
Arne Slot, Getty Images’In my opinion, the decision was wrong. Robertson did not obstruct the goalkeeper at all. Right after the match, I was shown a goal that the same referee allowed for City against Wolverhampton last season — John Stones scored the winning goal at the end of the match, and offside was not flagged. This time the linesman raised the flag after 13 seconds. So this decision had a huge impact on the match. It does not mean we would definitely have had a positive result, but who knows how everything would have unfolded in the second half,' quoted Slot, as reported by Liverpool’s press service.
