Liverpool boss Arne Slot insisted his side’s 1-0 win over Everton was legally ruled offside but admitted he was frustrated by the rule.
The Reds took 57 minutes to score the decisive goal as Luis Diaz crossed for Diogo Jota to fire home from inside the area to move closer to the Premier League title.
Everton boss David Moyes has suggested the referee should have disallowed the goal after Diaz was caught offside for continuing to obstruct James Tarkowski.
However, Slott said after the win at Anfield: “It’s a goal by the rules so nobody can make any demands. “There
are always question marks in football but the good thing is that the rules are in place and from what the TV channels have shown, it’s a goal clearly. “
I would be frustrated if I conceded a goal but what I am frustrated by is the rule, not the application of the rule because the referee was so perfect in that situation. “
But it’s a frustrating rule because in my opinion the attacking team always gets a hand. “
People in power don’t make the rules out of love for football. They are just there to make the rules,”
Slot was asked about another controversial moment earlier in the game, เว็บพนันออนไลน์ UFABET สมัครง่าย โปรโมชั่นมากมาย when Tarkowski’s challenge on Alexis Mac Allister was ruled out by referee Sam Barrott and VAR official Paul Tierney.
“Everyone has said something about it, so there is no reason for me to add anything,” the Dutch coach said.
“It’s clear, there is no need for me to comment. I would rather talk about the goal we scored, the performance of Curtis Jones or something else. “
Mac Allister continued to play, so I think he’s OK. He’s used to these situations because he’s from South America.”
