I refuse to watch any game involving them (I was one of the few on here who didn’t put myself through the torture of watching them in the CL final), and I didn’t see the game live tonight, but having just watched the highlights on MOTD (purely because I wanna see the end of Silva’s reign) Van Dijk should have been off and it should have been a pen, and that was when the score was at 2-1. So, a pen to make it 2-2 against 10 men...Van Dijk would also have missed 3 games for a straight red.
No question Liverpool were miles better, and were so without five regular starters such is the gulf in quality between the two teams, but that one incident was massive in the game. The ref got it wrong by thinking Van Dijk couldn’t have made an error, but why VAR wasn’t used I have no idea.
