Liverpool head coach Arne Slot was left aggrieved by some of the decisions in his side's 2-1 win over .

"In the meantime, we created a few very good chances and, in my opinion, if I'm being biased, a little bit unlucky with decisions being made. It's not important anymore because we won but it could've been a crucial decision for the VAR to overturn the penalty which I couldn't understand.
"If the referee looks at it, it looks that VAR shouldn't have intervened but, if you're me, it looks like a penalty. Then there's the red card, yesterday [on Saturday night in the Arsenal match] that was a red card, big decisions because red cards and penalties impact the game a lot.
"In the end, a good win against a good Chelsea side."
