West Ham ended Liverpool’s invincibility. Klopp claims that the match was significantly influenced by the referee – ŠPORT.sk

Liverpool had the record of breaking the record without losing, but in the end only equaled the 25-game goal, which was previously set by the great team of coach Bob Paisley in 1982.

The uncertain performance of goalkeeper Alisson Becker also contributes to this. He knocked the ball to his own goal in the first goal and did not support the team during the decisive interventions of Pablo Fornals and Kurt Zoum within seven minutes of the second half. Divock Origi then only mitigated the loss of Liverpool, for which in the first part Trent Alexander-Arnold presented himself with an export goal from behind the penalty area after a direct kick.

After the match, coach Jürgen Klopp criticized two referees’ decisions, which he said influenced the course of the match. In the first goal in the 4th minute, he defended the goalkeeper Alissona, who according to him was the victim of an illegal intervention in front of the “patriot” after the jump of the home Angel Ogbonnu.

“A clear foul on Alisson for me. When you look at the dynamics of the situation, how could it not be considered a foul?” the German coach asked after the match. He also didn’t like the fact that “hammerhead” Aaron Cresswell did not receive a red card for the first-time intervention on Jordan Henderson.. “We don’t even have to discuss it, it was supposed to be a clear exclusion from my point of view. He can’t go into a fight like that.” Klopp was angry, feeling that his team had more in London: “In the first half we completely controlled the game and in the second we collected from the break and the standard. It looked like we lost patience, we had to continue exercising before the break.”

Liverpool had last lost in a competitive duel in early April in the Champions League quarterfinals at Real Madrid. In the Premier League, he came out empty-handed for the first time since March, when he lost sensationally to Fulham at home.

West Ham is currently pulling a string of seven games without losing, he has succeeded in the league four times in a row and is only three points behind the first Chelsea. It can attack the improvement of the sixth place from last year.

“I want us to be competitive and to be able to torment every team from the top four, no matter who it is. Today we did it, even though the opponent had very few weaknesses. I have to praise the players, they deserve it,” The AP quoted West Ham coach David Moyes, who was able to beat his coaching colleague Klopp for the eighth attempt.
