Liverpool manager Arne Slot acknowledged that mistakes are inherent in football, responding to a contentious incident involving James Tarkowski that went unpunished in a recent match against Everton. Despite the controversy, Liverpool secured a vital 1-0 victory thanks to Diogo Jota's goal, which is significant for their Premier League title aspirations. Slot emphasized that every level of the game experiences errors, and he remains focused on the team's direction rather than dwelling on officiating missteps, especially after recent setbacks in cup competitions.
When asked about the standard of refereeing in the Premier League, Slot responded, as quoted by BBC Sport: I think everywhere around the world mistakes are being made.
Most importantly for Liverpool, they picked up an important three points last night to take them closer to winning the Premier League title.
Slot, however, did not want to dwell on it too much, insisting that mistakes happen at every level, with managers, players and match officials.
James Tarkowski got very lucky with a nasty challenge, which Howard Webb has since admitted was wrong not to be punished with a red card, according to the Times.
