- Jurgen Klopp says that because everyone has asked him about it, they must also think the penalty was wrongly given.
- Klopp added that he wanted to ask the referee what he saw before confirming his decision.
- This is the 11th VAR decision to go against Liverpool this season.
"I really think it's unfair to ask me because everybody asked me that question," Klopp said during his post-match press conference.
"That means everybody thinks it was not a penalty. But that's not really important because the ref thought it's a penalty. I wanted to talk to him now after the first few interviews I had but they left already.
"I just wanted to ask what did he see because the VAR calls you over in a situation like that, then I think he is in doubt about the decision. But he needed only a second.
"He went there, watched it from three or four yards, turned and penalty. So he obviously saw something that all other people didn't see. I didn't see it back yet but everybody who speaks to me tells me the same, how can it be a penalty?"
The referee was advised by VAR to reassess his decision to award a penalty but only looked at the monitor for a few seconds before confirming it.
The cheap penalty awarded to Everton effectively killed the game off, giving the Toffees their first win at Anfield since 1999.
