Erik ten hag has broken his silence about the decision of the video assistance referee (VAR) to not award a penalty to Manchester United. This latest news comes as a complete surprise. Can’t believe that they are under the impression that we have finally taken advantage of them once more 😳😭😭
In an unusual turn of events, the Belgian soccer player found himself excused for an incident where his boot connected with his opponent’s chest within the visitor’s box during the second half of the game.
Describing the incident as clear-cut, the German commentator expressed disbelief at the lack of penalty given, stating that the player’s foot posed a significant threat regardless of whether it contacted the ball.
Despite the availability of VAR for review, there was a surprising absence of intervention or request for further examination from the on-field officials.
Jurgen Klopp’s assessment of Doku’s challenge on Mac Allister was accurate, highlighting the mental acrobatics required by Sky Sports commentators to justify the decision.
It’s undeniable: honesty dictates that the incident warranted a penalty, and any attempt to spin it otherwise is futile. If the roles were reversed, the outcome would likely remain the same.
Despite the blatant injustice, Klopp exhibited remarkable composure, choosing to focus on the team’s position in the league standings rather than dwell on the unfair outcome of the match. With ample time remaining in the season, there’s still a chance to vie for the title, currently trailing league leaders Arsenal by goal difference.
