“I love Virgil as a player, he is fantastic.
“Sometimes you mistime tackles and they look bad or are bad.
“So I am surprised that hasn’t gone to VAR and I was relieved Onana was okay.
“The ref just has a job to do and VAR too but I just think they got that wrong.”
On a day of shame, the red-hot atmosphere spilled over with a pitch invader stopping play before a bottle was thrown from high up in the main stand seconds after Everton defender Conor Coady was denied by an offside flag following a VAR check.
The plastic missile just missed the Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp and Everton later revealed the culprit had been found and banned indefinitely from the stadium.
Klopp said: “I didn’t see where it came from.
“I thought it was a glass bottle, but it was not.
“I have not seen it because it was a crime scene!
“But if it was a glass bottle it could have been really dangerous.”
Meanwhile, both clubs last night condemned fans who defaced a mural of Mo Salah in the city with racial graffiti.
Offensive messages were scrawled over multiple sites in the north of the city as well as around Anfield and Goodison.
On the pitch, Liverpool’s Fabio Carvalho is set to be out for a week after being on the end of a crunching challenge by Onana.
Carvalho, 20, was taken off at half-time and Klopp confirmed afterwards: “He took a bad knock.
“It was extremely painful, a dead leg in the muscle above the knee and he couldn’t bend the knee anymore.
“The muscle swells up and there is no space.
“We are now waiting to see how quickly that will settle.
“You could see he tried but he couldn’t run properly and we made the change.”
