LIVERPOOL

🚨⚽VAR told they have made a big blunder in Liverpool vs Man United game which went completely unnoticed

Liverpool and Manchester United faced off in a highly anticipated Premier League match this past weekend, known for being one of the fiercest rivalries in English football. Arne Slot’s Liverpool entered the match as one of the only unbeaten teams left in the league, while Manchester United had experienced a season of mixed results so far. As expected by many fans, Liverpool emerged victorious, winning 3-0 at Old Trafford thanks to two goals from Luis Diaz and another from Mohamed Salah. This victory saw both Diaz and Virgil van Dijk being named in Alan Shearer’s Team of the Week.

 

Arne Slot shared that his tactical approach for the match was straightforward, a revelation that reportedly disgusted former Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane. In contrast, a former Liverpool player, Neil Mellor, pointed out what he believed was a missed penalty decision during the game. According to Mellor, an incident involving Noussair Mazraoui making contact with Cody Gakpo’s leg appeared to have gone unnoticed by VAR. Mellor shared images on his personal Twitter account suggesting that advantage was played, but the incident wasn’t reviewed by VAR, which he believed should have resulted in a penalty for Liverpool.

 

Despite this potential VAR oversight, the match otherwise had little controversy in terms of officiating. Liverpool’s victory means they remain on maximum points from their first three games without conceding a goal, trailing only Manchester City on goal difference. Slot’s side will look to maintain this momentum through the international break, either on international duty or by training under Slot’s guidance at the AXA Training Centre.

 

On the other hand, Manchester United and their manager Erik ten Hag face significant challenges. The comprehensive defeat to Liverpool has raised concerns about United’s ability to compete with top teams. Ten Hag, visibly frustrated, was even seen throwing a water bottle after Salah’s goal. The defeat also raises questions about Jim Ratcliffe’s decision to retain Ten Hag as manager, especially after last season’s FA Cup final win over Manchester City, suggesting that the club’s struggles continue.
