Another Saturday, another day of VAR torment for Liverpool; only this time Jürgen Klopp’s champions would not be denied victory by strange goings-on at Stockley Park. Diogo Jota’s header took Liverpool to joint-top of the Premier League after Sheffield United had been awarded a controversial penalty and Mohamed Salah refused a stunning goal by VAR.
Liverpool managed to make it 62 league games unbeaten at Anfield despite the interventions that are driving Klopp to distraction. They are now just one game short of the club record set between 1978 and 1981. Victory number 51 in that outstanding sequence was hard-fought and not always pretty - Chris Wilder’s side had several opportunities to salvage a point in the second half - but testament to the resilience and focus of Klopp’s players.
