Arne Slot is now dealing with the same frustration Jurgen Klopp faced last season, as a series of contentious referee decisions continue to impact Liverpool’s matches.
A situation reminiscent of last season’s controversial decisions unfolded in the EFL Cup match against Spurs.
Lucas Bergvall was shown a yellow card in the 68th minute but could have easily been given a second yellow for his challenge on Kostas Tsimikas. However, the referee chose not to penalize him.
As a result, Bergvall continued to play and eventually scored while Tsimikas was off the field receiving treatment.
Tottenham seized the opportunity, and with things falling in their favor, they clinched a 1-0 victory in the EFL Cup semi-final.
