Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has criticized the officials’ decisions during Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Burnley. Klopp said that the decisions are “insane” and “ridiculous”. The Reds won at Turf Moor with goals from Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota, returning them to the top of the Premier League table on Tuesday evening. However, Klopp expressed frustration over two disallowed goals for his team. The on-field referee ruled out Cody Gakpo’s first-half goal due to a foul by Darwin Nunez on Charlie Taylor. VAR upheld the decision, despite Klopp’s belief that it should have been reviewed.

Klopp argued that VAR missed a push on Salah by Jordan Beyer, which affected the play. Speaking after the game, Klopp left no stone unturned in his criticism of the decisions, stating, “Only somebody who has never played football can make this an offside. “It’s insane when you see that. This man, if he never played football, then it can happen where he might think, ‘Oh, offside rule, let me see, page seven, there’s somebody between him and the goalie…’ That’s a ridiculous decision.” He also questioned the consistency of referee interpretations, saying, “We all watch football and need the referees, but we need them to make the right interpretations of the rules. How can you make in this situation no goal, it’s like, wow.” Despite the contentious calls, Liverpool managed to takeaway all three points from the match, placing them two points ahead of Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table.

Tedesco said he had planned to rotate the armband among different players, and that Courtois would have been the captain for the Estonia game. However, Courtois did not accept this explanation and decided to leave the group without informing anyone. He also denied Tedesco’s version of events and insisted that he left because of his injury. He added that he is proud to play for Belgium and would always give his best for his country. Sharing his thoughts on how Thibaut Courtois reacted to the issue during an interview with RTBF journalist, Manuel Jous, Carrasco said; 
Chelsea star, Raheem Sterling has said that he and his teammates are disappointed with their abysmal performance this season. Sterling who joined the Blues from Manchester City last summer for a fee in the region of £47.5 million ($59.7m), shared his teammates’ frustration during an interview with The Sun. 
He further stated while he enjoyed his time at his previous club and won a lot of trophies, he is seeking to solve the new challenge at Chelsea. Sterling said; “We are disappointed when we come off the pitch and feel angry and disappointed. There are times when we finish a game you just sit in the changing room looking into space because you can’t understand what has just happened. It’s tough to take. You are always trying to look for a positive solution. There will be conversations, players trying to come to terms with what has happened in the last ten minutes or so. It’s not easy. 
“We need to look in the right direction and look to whoever comes in as the next manager to build for the future. I enjoyed my time at my previous club and won a lot of trophies. But I like a new challenge and this is the challenge I signed up for. It will taste even sweeter to win silverware coming from a moment like this than if you were winning every single week. The ability in the dressing room is undeniable and if we have someone who can take control of that we are more than capable of challenging every year.” Chelsea currently sits 12th on the EPL table in what has been described as their worst-ever Premier League campaign.
