📅 2026-05-04

Manchester United secured a vital victory over rivals Liverpool in a thrilling match at Old Trafford on Sunday. The hosts took a 2-0 lead within the first 15 minutes, but Liverpool manager Arne Slot argued that the second goal should have been disallowed for handball.

Replays showed the ball may have touched Benjamin Sesko’s fingertips before crossing the line, but VAR officials deemed the footage inconclusive, upholding the on-field decision to award the goal. Slot expressed his frustration post-match, insisting the goal should have been overturned.

A clip of Slot’s comments was shared by Hayters TV on social media, highlighting his disagreement with the officiating decision.
