LIVERPOOL, England: While Liverpool supervisor Juergen Klopp gushed about Sunday’s breathless 1-1 Premier League draw with Manchester City, calling it the perfect his squad has ever performed in opposition to the reigning champions, he was adamant his crew have been robbed of a penalty.

Alexis Mac Allister fired dwelling a second-half penalty as Liverpool claimed a degree in opposition to City at Anfield that left Arsenal prime of the desk within the tight title race. Liverpool are second on purpose distinction, whereas City are third with a degree separating the highest three groups.

But simply earlier than the ultimate whistle Liverpool have been screaming for a penalty to no avail when Jeremy Doku challenged Mac Allister within the field, together with his boot catching the Argentine within the chest.

“Hits him on the chest,” Klopp told reporters. “Does he touch the ball before? Yes. Does that make any difference, on any position on the pitch, if your leg is that high? You can kick the ball before, and after that the foot is here (Klopp points to his chest) and you go off.”

The officers disagreed and the VAR didn’t ship the referee to have a second take care of checking the choice.

“Why would the man within the VAR studio assume ‘Ah that’s not clear and apparent’? What should you’ve had for lunch should you assume that’s not clear and apparent?”

The manager insisted, however, he was already over the controversial moment, even if it comes back to bite Liverpool in the league title race.

“I have to speak so often about it, and I really don’t care, I’m already over it, it’s absolutely fine. We’d love to get it, yeah, but nothing that I say — at least I learned that — will change that.

“So would have loved to have used one of the massive chances we created. (But) for us, the most important information is we are right there. So, we go the distance. Let’s see what we get for it, but the boys fought so hard for absolutely everything to be there.”

While the Anfield thriller lived as much as its blockbuster billing, Klopp stated the thrill was not sufficient for him to query his determination to depart Liverpool on the season’s finish.

“These video games are good video games, nice video games, implausible soccer video games,” Klopp said. “I met my missus after the game and she was completely buzzing. So it must be good fun to watch it from the stands as well. So, that’s why I’m not sure if I really would miss something when I’m allowed to watch football games.

“But it was recreation.”
