The goal took the wind out of our sails a little bit, especially with the run we're on and them being Liverpool. Credit to the boys they stuck in there. "It's a very good example of the issues we have with VAR. Mike Dean sees the goal and maybe isn't even thinking about a red card as the assistant referee is looking for offside. "It's not a happy camp when you lose, but we just need to focus on the next game.

The Liverpool forward walked away with no serious injury and despite a VAR review Sanchez's challenge was deemed not worthy of a red card. VAR is part of the team of referees and not someone from the outside who thinks he might embarrass the referee with his decision. So, for what reason could it not be a red card then? "He did what a striker had to do," Klopp said. Brighton, who started brightly but faded, should have equalised just after half-time but Leandro Trossard skied an effort over the bar from close range.
