Klopp believes in VAR after FA Cup exit, despite two favorable rulings
VAR was used at Anfield to overturn two of referee Craig Pawson's decisions in an action-packed first half, sparking scenes of confusion as Liverpool were beaten 3-2 by West Brom in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Saturday night.
Defender Craig Dawson thought he had put West Brom 3-1 up after a corner, but the goal was then disallowed for offside upon review, before Liverpool were awarded a penalty when Jake Livermore was ruled to have brought down Mohamed Salah after Pawson initially ignored Liverpool's claims.
"I think it's normal," Klopp told a postmatch news conference. "Of course, it will change these things. Is it nice that West Brom celebrates a goal and then somebody tells them it's not a goal? But I think that's what we actually always wanted. If a goal should be disallowed then it should be disallowed.”
"Usually in these two situations after the game we talk about it and I have to explain a defeat which may be not was deserved because we did not get a penalty and they scored another goal."
