Salah saved a point for Liverpool – various controversial situations – VG

– We don’t play well. I don’t know if they needed to wake up, but I can’t write a book, throw it out on the pitch and ask them to read it, Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp tells Sky Sports.

Bobby De Cordova-Reid scored the goal that ensured Fulham took a surprising lead at Craven Cottage.

However, Liverpool called for a free kick in advance after Mohamed Salah received a push in the back, but it was not confirmed by the referee.

– I ask your opinion, I need to know what you think. Our opinion is irrelevant. It’s a clear free kick, nothing more, says Klopp clearly upset.

Before that, Fulham had created several great opportunities initially. Alisson Becker had to be in action several times to keep the cage clean.

– It’s different from us. We have to move fast. We can’t start like this, Jordan Henderson tells Sky Sports.

Just ten minutes before Reid’s goal, he was also close to Fulham scoring a penalty.

Fabinho delivered what looked like a brilliant tackle, but one that referee Andre Marriner wanted to get a closer look at.

The judge thought it was okay not to sentence.

However, he went to Liverpool after the break. Georginio Wijnaldum’s free kick hit Tosin Adarabioyo’s arm into the Fulham wall, the referee thought.

– Liverpool needed some luck

Mohamed Salah’s penalty was not perfect, but he beat Alphonse Areola in the Fulham cage.

– There is no doubt that Liverpool needed a bit of luck to get back into the game. This is what they score on: a stupid hand on the wall and a bad penalty kick, says TV 2 expert Simen Stamsø Møller.

Before that, Marriner and his team had possibly also missed a red card to Ademola Lookman.

There were no more goals after Salah tied. Tottenham remains at the top of the table after 1-1 at Crystal Palace.

Liverpool now have one win, four draws and one loss in the first six away games in the Premier League this season.

Injury crisis

Before the game, Jürgen Klopp confirmed that Diogo Jota will be out due to injury for six to eight weeks.

– It’s worse than we thought at first, but better than we feared, said Klopp.

It didn’t get any better that Joel Matip had to give up with back pain at halftime.

– I don’t think it’s serious, says Klopp after the game.

Since before, midfielders Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez have been out with serious injuries.

Left-back Konstantinos Tsimikas will be out until February with a knee injury, and neither James Milner, Xherdan Shaqiri, Thiago or Naby Keita are ready for battle.

– When you look at the results of the teams that played in Europe, they all had problems yesterday and today. Maybe this is the weekend we’re sorry for after all the games we’ve played, says Klopp.

Although the match against Midtjylland had nothing to say, the German competed with, among others, Mohamed Salah for 90 minutes on Wednesday night.
