Fulham manager Marco Silva claims the award of Liverpool’s match-winning penalty was embarrassing as his side slipped to an eighth defeat in 10 games.
Mohamed Salah scored from the spot for the second successive match to secure a 1-0 win after Issa Diop was adjudged to have brought down Darwin Nunez.
Silva was not convinced, however, saying: “The way they scored the goal, I have to say that is embarrassing. “Today in football to give a penalty like that, after the VAR didn’t take that penalty (away) it is difficult to understand. “I will not say nothing more because after it will be difficult for me and I don’t want to create more problems for me.
It is difficult to understand that penalty,” Silva said. “When Darwin touch the ball he start to dive himself but after he touched his left leg with Issa. “They are going to say it is harsh but the referee gave and after the VAR cannot take (away).
