It's just an unfortunate incident."

But, again, we could have done better, so that's not the reason why we lost this game today - the reason is because we missed far too many chances to win a game of football." Slot went on: "Again, I've said it here many times and I'm hoping that I'm not just saying it to you, but everybody understands this a bit better, we are not a team - which I see a lot in football - that goes to the floor pretending it's a head injury, so they kill the counter-attack.

"That's not who we are. "So if a player of us is then on the floor you would hope everybody would say, 'It's Liverpool, they don't do these kind of things, so let's blow a whistle.'
