Some of Liverpool’s players felt they were fortunate to be awarded a penalty in their defeat against Bournemouth, according to Adam Smith.
Liverpool lost 1-0 on the south coast in Saturday’s early Premier League kick-off, with Philip Billing’s goal the difference between the two sides. But Jurgen Klopp’s side had a glorious chance to draw level in the second half when Bournemouth full-back Smith was penalised for a handball.
Referee John Brooks was advised by the VAR to go over to the pitchside monitor and he awarded a spot-kick, with Diogo Jota’s goalbound header hitting Smith’s left hand as he jumped for the ball. Bournemouth were let off when Salah smashed his effort wide of Neto’s post.
