Scoreline was way closer than the game.
Wasn't a brilliant performance, but there were some good signs. Mane when he got on the ball looked excellent. Milner gave some steel, although we missed a left footer for some of the chances he had to cross. Bobby can't buy a goal at home (here hoping he fixes that midweek). Ox had moments and Fabinho struggled again.
How their first goal stood I have no idea. Tierney set the precedent in the first minute when Gomez is pushed in the back by Wilson in a challenge, he and virgil both appealed to the the ref who said shoulder charge! That gave Wilson the green light to push as much as he wanted. Their goal in real time is obviously a push, Gomez is in control and he barges into him and pushes him forward, not a shoulder in sight. I watched Tierney in the aftermath and everyone around me expected VAR to intervene it was so obvious. Even Tierney was looking around and walking back slowly as if he expected it to be overruled - well make the f'in decision rather than trying to get bailed out by VAR. Just what is the point of VAR if it can't get that right. Wilson got even bolder then, at one point he pushed Gomez over with two hands in his back... nothing given.
Anyway, a victory makes us one closer.
Need to be stronger in midfield in mid-week, will be a tough one.
