West Ham United defender Arthur Masuako claimed responsibility for Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah’s penalty in the Premier League match between the two teams.
Liverpool overcame their deficit against West Ham with a two-goal win at Anfield, and Salah was the Reds’ first goal.
Masuako posted his photo after Salah tweeted on his personal Twitter account and commented on it, saying, “I still feel angry at myself for what happened.”
He added, “a disappointing result after our good start to the match.”
The Congolese defender’s words came against those of his coach David Moyes, who believed that Salah did not deserve a penalty.
“I don’t think the game deserves a penalty,” Moyes said in featured comments by the Daily Mail.
“I think Salah dropped to the ground,” added the West Ham coach.
He added: “Masuako stopped because he expected the referee to do something about the way Salah fell, but the decision was in favor of Liverpool.”
Salah took the penalty himself and scored it as usual in the middle of the goal, to tie with Liverpool, who were behind with a goal from Pablo Fornals from minute ten.
Mohamed Salah’s seventh goal in the league this season was the second scorer behind Son Heung-min, and the eighth overall.
The goal is his 102nd with the Liverpool jersey in various tournaments since joining the team.
The victory raised Liverpool’s balance to 16th point at the top of the Premier League rankings, while West Ham’s balance froze at eighth point at 15th place.
