Premier League spectacle ends in a draw – Arsenal laughs third
The last coaching duel between Jürgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola remains without a winner. Liverpool FC and Manchester City draw 1-1 in the top game. The beneficiary of this draw is Arsenal FC: The “Gunners” are now in first place in the Premier League.
As exciting as the top game between Liverpool FC and Manchester City was, in the end a missed penalty in the football spectacle in England caused a lack of understanding. Jürgen Klopp vents his anger.
It was a football game that was captivating. Because it had everything that makes this sport so fascinating. The football that Liverpool FC and Manchester City played in a 1-1 draw on Sunday was impressive. Mats Hummels, German national player for BVB, was thrilled.
“There are currently no five teams in the world that can play with such intensity. What a game at Anfield,” the defender wrote to “X” during the game. But as exciting as the game was, there was a big upset at the end. Jürgen Klopp, the Liverpool FC coach who left in the summer, had no understanding for the missed penalty in stoppage time.
“Why would the guy in the VAR studio just think it’s not clear and obvious. What must they have had for lunch to think that it isn’t clear and obvious? Anywhere else on the pitch it would 100 percent be a foul,” said Klopp.
“We respect each other brutally,” Klopp said of Guardiola
The background was the scene at the end of injury time when Manchester’s Jeremy Doku hit the ball and Alexis Mac Allister’s chest with a high leg. The video referee examined the situation but did not overrule the referee.
