Liverpool manager, Arne Slot, has voiced strong dissatisfaction with VAR, insisting that key decisions have repeatedly gone against his side this season.
After Liverpool’s 3-2 loss to Manchester United, a match in which Benjamin Sesko’s controversial goal was allowed to stand, Slot delivered an emotional critique of officiating, pointing to several VAR-related incidents he believes have unfairly impacted his team.
“If it was a touch (by Sesko) which I think it is, in a ball sport it has a certain curve and it changes, it must be a contact then we should have a debate is that enough to disallow a goal.
“I don’t think it is a surprise to anyone this season that if there is a VAR intervention it goes against us. It has been the whole season the same.”
He went on to reference previous matches as evidence of what he sees as an ongoing pattern.
“I remember PSG at home, getting a penalty for a soft touch on (Alexis) Mac Allister, VAR intervenes and it is not a pen,” the Dutchman explained.
“The other week, PSG gets one. This time, the referee stops play when a United player is injured off the pitch, but last week played continues when our goalkeeper is on the floor needing treatment.”
