Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp ‘understands’ Wolves’ anger at their disallowed FA Cup winner with Julen Lopetegui furious at VAR following the decision.
The third-round match at Anfield eventually ended in a 2-2 draw when Toti of Wolves was controversially denied a winner in the 82nd minute after a prolonged check that raised a lot of eyebrows.
Although ITV reported that video official Mike Dean did not have a camera perspective of the alleged infringement, spectators at home were also left in the dark until after the game, when it was revealed that the disallowed goal was due to an offside call in the build-up.
After the game, Klopp spoke to ITV, claiming to have “one picture” that supported the winner’s disqualification. However, he also acknowledged that he understood Wolves’ ire at the unquestionably controversial decision.
Klopp remarked, “I’m not convinced about their third goal. We have a photo where it might appear odd.
However, I can see why they are upset about it. The VAR shouldn’t only have one angle, according to us.
The offside that we had, Wolves manager Lopetegui said, “was really furious with the choice that we made.” The offside doesn’t exist; we’ve seen that. I’m sorry.
It is not possible. He has been told that it is offside, but we have seen the pictures, and it is not there. Two touches are our players, and he doesn’t want the second touch.
“The choice is incorrect. Every day I make mistakes, and occasionally they do too. We now have VAR support, which is unfortunate since it’s not offside.
Then, in a statement to the BBC, Lopetegui said: “It was unfortunate that we did not go to the next round because I believe the players deserved to pass.”
We spoke to the referee after seeing the pictures in the room, and he was really kind and attentive.
“That is fantastic for me because that is unusual in Spain,” you say. I enjoy talking to him only to disprove that there is an offside. It is extremely obvious.
