In the seventh round of the Premier League, Jota scored the only goal of the match, and Van Dijk escaped a penalty. Crystal Palace ultimately lost 0-1 to Liverpool at home. After the game, Crystal Palace manager Liver Glasner spoke to the media.
Glasner said, “I didn’t see the incident (Van Dijk pulling Guehi) during the game, but I saw it in the replay after the match. To me, it was a clear foul, and VAR should have intervened, but they did not. Van Dijk pulled Guehi with both hands; he should have been punished for that foul.”
“Guehi would have had a chance to touch the ball if he hadn’t been pulled by Van Dijk. If the same foul occurred near the halfway line, it would still be a foul. So I believe that if an action is considered a foul near the halfway line, it should also be considered a foul in any other area of the pitch.”
