Arne Slot is fuming, Mikel Arteta?s big risk pays off and Josh Dasilva enjoys an emotional return for Brentford
Arne Slot was seething as he lamented the decision to allow Manchester United?s second goal to stand despite claims of handball by Benjamin Sesko. ?The curve on the ball changed so there must have been a contact,? argued the Liverpool head coach. ?But it?s no surprise to anyone that if there is a VAR intervention then the decision goes against us. It?s happened to us all season.? As PGMO confirmed at the time, however, there ?was no conclusive evidence that Sesko handled the ball before scoring?. Slot was stretching it to pin Liverpool?s latest defeat on poor refereeing. United?s movement pulled the visitors apart in the first half and, without the injured Mohamed Salah, Hugo Ekitik? and Alexander Isak, the threat from Liverpool was nonexistent until capitalising on two errors early in the second half. Defeat stemmed from an anaemic first-half performance, nothing else. Andy Hunter
