Julen Lopetegui admits his Wolverhampton Wanderers side didn’t deserve anything at Anfield as Liverpool claimed a 2-0 win. Second half goals from Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah handed Liverpool all three points. Wolves only had one shot on target at Anfield as Liverpool avenged their 3-0 defeat at Molineux last month.
Jules Lopetegui said: “It was frustrating because we didn’t get anything and because we didn’t deserve to get anything. Maybe the first half was more balanced but in the second half we didn’t keep the rhythm they demand. When they scored it was more difficult. It’s a pity we lost, but we have to change our minds very fast because in three days we have another very important match.”
With the game tied at 0-0, there was an incident between Mario Lemina and Liverpool midfielder Fabinho which incensed Wolves’ players. Lemina lunged in on Fabinho, whose studs planted into the back of the Wolves man’s leg. Wolves players crowded around referee Paul Tierney and VAR checked the incident. Fabinho received a yellow card rather than the red Wolves’ players and supporters hoped for.
On the incident,
Julen Lopetegui said: “I didn’t see the action so I cannot answer you. I don’t want to talk about the referee, my feeling is that I have to talk about my team. We have to do better and we can do better. We are going to do better.”
