"Well we saw Liverpool have a perfectly good goal ruled out on the basis of offside," he told Football Insider. "We know there is a degree of subjectivity in this specific law, but let's have a look at it.

"I think the goalkeeper had a clear line of sight, he could've saved it, he didn't, the ball went in and the officials took the easy decision to give offside and rule out the goal. Yes I agree a degree of subjectivity around this law, but my opinion is I don't like good goals being ruled out." Reflecting on the ruling following the match, Van Dijk commented: "In football the officials are deciding the key decisions and we have to deal with it on the pitch.

I just focus on the fact we lost. I don't think we were much in trouble but we could have done better.
