Liverpool manager says VAR missed ‘obvious foul’• ‘No chance – we’re not playing
basketball,’ says Solskjær
Jürgen Klopp railed at the VAR decision that failed to rule a “clear foul” in the buildup to Marcus Rashford’s goal as Liverpool surrendered their 100% record in a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford on Sunday. The result cut Liverpool’s lead over
Manchester City at the top of the
Premier League to six points, with the draw preventing Klopp’s side from matching City’s record of 18 successive league wins and providing a welcome confidence booster for Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s
Manchester United side after their testing start to the season.
Klopp was left complaining about the referee Martin Atkinson’s decision not to award a foul on Divock Origi by United defender Victor Lindelof just before Rashford gave his side the lead in the 36th minute, with VAR official David Coote – who saw his decision to award a goal for Aston Villa’s Conor Hourihane against Brighton overturned by VAR on Saturday – deciding no foul had been committed.
