'I can complain': Marco Silva left fuming after what happened just before Cody Gakpo scored for Liverpool today

Liverpool and Fulham played out an incredible 2-2 draw at Anfield on Saturday, with both sides coming away a little frustrated.

The Reds had been expected to beat their visitors from West London, but were put at a disadvantage after just 17 minutes following Andy Robertson’s red card.



With Andreas Pereira having already put Fulham 1-0 up at that point, it felt like a long way back for Liverpool to win the game.



Pereira could have been sent off just before his goal for a studs-up rake down the back of Ryan Gravenberch’s calf, but was only given a yellow card.



While Liverpool did not complain as vociferously as they were justified too, though, Fulham boss Marco Silva incredibly felt that refereeing decisions didn’t go his way at Anfield later on.

Speaking to Sky Sports after the game, Silva was clearly left fuming by events just before Cody Gakpo nodded Liverpool back to 1-1.

Amazingly, Pereira’s was not the only red card Fulham might have been given on another day inside the first few minutes at Anfield.

Issa Diop was perhaps slightly fortunate to only pick up a caution following a high, late tackle on Robertson.

Nevertheless, despite having seen Robertson then – correctly – given his marching orders, Silva was still not happy at the final whistle.

Clearly frustrated while speaking to Sky, the Portuguese coach bemoaned the decision not to give a foul for a tug from Luis Diaz on Kenny Tete in the build-up to Gakpo’s goal.

“Liverpool can complain about the red card, since it’s a foul it should be a red card,” he said.

“I can complain about the first goal they scored because of the feedback that I got from Kenny, it’s clear.”

This is quite the reach from Silva.

There was contact from Diaz on Tete, but it was more that the full-back went to grab Diaz himself, and then simply fell over.

There was a brief VAR check for the foul, but there was no way this was ever going to be given.

You can understand why Tete might insinuate to his manager that the contact was worse than it was, because had he been more interested in actually defending Mo Salah’s cross, then he might have stopped it.

As it was, the Dutchman was more preoccupied with foiling Diaz, which allowed Gakpo to creep in at the back stick.

The fact that Silva can have any complaints at all during a game in which several big decisions went against Liverpool is bizarre to say the least.
