A minute into stoppage time Liverpool seemed to have done enough to return from the south coast with parts falling off, hinges creaking, but three points still safely stowed away. An empty Amex Stadium on a sunny November lunchtime might seem one of football’s friendlier away dates, but Jürgen Klopp’s team were stretched to the limits in this 1-1 draw, and denied at the end by a penalty awarded by the VAR.
Klopp’s suspicion that the planets are arranged against him right now will have been confirmed during the course of this game. Liverpool scored three goals, had two chalked off, and were pegged back by video intervention, and a penalty scored by Pascal Gross.
