He added: “In the end it was a penalty kick so there’s no need to argue with them.” With VAR… I do not know what to say. “We tried to stop the penalty but it was just a gamble,” he said. Jurgen Klopp’s side were in top form, setting a Premier League record for most expected goals (xG) after having 34 shots on target. Salah scored twice, including a penalty kick, and there were also goals from Curtis Jones and Cody Gakpo. Dubravka said: “It was a rollercoaster game that was hard to lose, especially when it was close to 4-2. It was an interesting game. Unfortunately, they created plenty of chances and went cold, resulting in a disappointing performance, for us.””It was a very exciting night for the fans. I hope they enjoyed it, but unfortunately we couldn’t give them anything to make them happy. That didn’t happen today.”
Newcastle United goalkeeper Martin Dubravka says there is “no need to argue” about Liverpool’s Diogo Jota’s penalty. He described Jota as a “clever guy” after the 4–2 defeat to Liverpool. During Liverpool’s win against Newcastle, Dubravka fouled Jota. This sparked controversy, with Newcastle legend Alan Shearer calling the incident a “bloody disgrace”. Dubravka made up for his earlier mistake when he converted a penalty and was blocked after Mohamed Salah fouled Luis Diaz.”I was upset because he’s a smart guy, I tried not to catch him,” Dubravka told NUFC TV. “I felt the contact, but I don’t know what to do,” he said.
Alexander Isak and Sven Botman scored for Newcastle.
