Slot accepts his side were second best at Etihad

LIVERPOOL head coach Arne Slot felt the decision to disallow their equaliser against Manchester City was wrong but accepted his side were second-best in the 3-0 defeat.

- 

Goals from Erling Haaland, Nico Gonzalez and Jeremy Doku gave the hosts a convincing victory, but Slot was unhappy Virgil van Dijk's header which would have made it 1-1 was ruled out for Andy Robertson being in an offside position.

"I think it is obvious and clear the wrong decision has been made," he said.

"He (Robertson) didn't interfere at all with what the goalkeeper can do.

"Immediately after the game someone showed me a goal the same referee allowed for City against Wolves last season."

Despite his frustrations, Slot could have no complaints about the result.
