He caused the Liverpool defenders trouble throughout, including nicking the ball off Ibrahima Konate before calmly sealing the win. At the time, Jurgen Klopp vented his frustration at the awarding of the goal, claiming Mbeumo had fouled Konate.
The German said: “The third goal, I have no clue. When you’re in a full sprint, get a push in the back, you lose control and you go down.
“We all thought it’s not a foul and VAR hides behind the phrase ‘it’s not clear and obvious’. The third goal has nothing to do with anything else, it’s just a foul. Come on.
“And it’s how I said, we lose 2-1 if we don’t score then ok, but the third goal, I cannot respect.”
