Jurgen Klopp mentions Arsenal in relation to the contentious goal scored by Manchester City against Liverpool.

Jurgen Klopp, the manager of Liverpool, disregarded any potential grievances regarding Manchester City’s goal in their 1-1 tie. Arsenal maintained their position at the top of the Premier League as their two biggest competitors had to settle for a draw.

Arsenal surpassed Liverpool on Saturday evening by securing a 2-1 victory at home against Brentford, thanks to Kai Havertz’s late header. On Sunday, City took an early lead in the competition to secure a top position.

John Stones successfully maneuvered his shot past Caoimhin Kelleher following a cunningly devised corner play executed by Kevin de Bruyne. Liverpool regained momentum in the second half when Alexis Mac Allister successfully converted a penalty kick after Darwin Nunez was fouled by Ederson.

Klopp was deeply shocked by the decision to not award another penalty in the last moments, despite the fact that the Liverpool goalscorer was struck by a high boot from Jeremy Doku. Nevertheless, there were doubts regarding Stones’ first goal after Nathan Ake obstructed Mac Allister’s progress, enabling the English player to elegantly strike the ball into the net.

Analogies have been made between Stones’ goal and the judgment to disallow Virgil van Dijk’s header in the Carabao Cup final following Wataru Endo’s obstruction of Levi Colwill. Nevertheless, the two situations were distinct, as Endo was initially in an offside position, whereas Ake’s involvement originated from the corner.

Klopp displayed disinterest in the debate and cited Arsenal’s set-piece tactics as an illustration. In an interview with Sky Sports, he stated, “I was not aware of that; no one presented that to me following the match.” I entered without pondering the circumstances, as I am unaware of the cause.
