The head coach of Liverpool Arne Slot commented on the match of the 19th round of the English Premier League against Leeds, which ended in a zero draw. According to him, refereeing leaves much to be desired, especially in matters of penalty awarding.

— In the first half, there was an obvious moment when the player did not fall, and I understand why, because every time our player falls, a penalty is not awarded. It’s the little things, I see players from other teams lose their balance in situations like this, but we don’t do that. This season we fell due to fouls several times and did not get a penalty.

In general, we talk about how other players go down easily to get penalties or other points, but that’s who we are. If other fans or people look, they will find moments when our players fell and got nothing, said the coach.
