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.
