Portuguese midfielder Bernardo Silva has fired his shots at the match officials after Liverpool FC ended the unbeaten run of defending English Premier League Champions Manchester City.
Manchester City attacking midfielder Phil Foden tried making breaking the deadlock in the match and giving the Cityzens a lead but the goal was later ruled out by the match officials. And it later resulted in a loss for the blue club.
The brilliant assist by Alisson Becker helped Mohamed Salah find the back of the net and because of the only goal in the match, Liverpool ended on the better side.
Foden thought he had opened the scoring for the visitors in the 53rd minute, but VAR intervened to judge that Erling Haaland had fouled Fabinho in the build-up and chalked the goal off.
What does Bernardo Silva have to say about Phil Foden’s disallowed goal?
In his post-match interview with Sky Sports, Bernardo Silva criticised the match officials. “What we expect from referees is consistency in the decisions,” the Portuguese said. “Just because it’s a tough decision, you have to make [it] and keep the goal, in my opinion.”
Bernardo Silva’s remarks reflected the whole mood of Pep Guardiola’s side at the very really irritated with the result. They are agitated because their first loss of the season came against a not-in-form and Injury stuck Liverpool FC.
And another thing to stress about is Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are now four points clear of Manchester City in the top. Although, Liverpool FC are in the 8th spot but still the victory will give them a good boost.
Sunday’s win against City was Virgil van Dijk’s 69th consecutive home victory at Anfield, a Premier League record. Dutch defender Virgil van Dijk has never lost a match for Liverpool at Anfield and he joined the Merseyside club in 2018 winters.
City will be looking to bounce back and narrow the gap at the top in their next Premier League match at home to Brighton on October 22.
