All Liverpool players ignore their heartbreaking defeat to Tottenham in favor of Union Saint Gilloise.

Liverpool’s 17-match unbeaten streak in the Premier League stretching back to January this year ended with a 1-2 defeat to Tottenham last weekend. That was the match that controversy is still taking place to this day. The Kop was at a disadvantage in many referee decisions. Luis Diaz’s goal was not recognized even though it was legal, and the referee’s disqualification of Curtis Jones was also controversial.

 

Liverpool even had to play with 9 people in the second half when Diogo Jota received his second yellow card and left the field. In the 9 against 11 match, it took until the 90+6 minute for the home team to score a goal to increase the score to 2-1, and the person who helped Spurs win 3 points was midfielder Joel Matip on the away team. This defeat also ended Liverpool’s streak of 7 consecutive victories this season.

 

Jurgen Klopp expressed his disappointment to the referees after the match, Liverpool dropped to 4th place in the Premier League. And just like the German teacher said, apologies from the British Professional Referee Management Authority (PGMOL) did not change anything, because the Red Brigade left Tottenham’s field empty-handed. This weekend, Liverpool will have a difficult away trip to Brighton’s field, but before that they will host Union Saint-Gilloise at home in the second match of Group E Europa League 2023/24.

 

Comments on Liverpool vs Union Saint-Gilloise are strongly in favor of the home team, this is an opportunity for The Kop to vent their anger after losing to Tottenham in the Premier League. According to statistics, the Red Brigade has won 15 of the last 21 home matches in the Europa League. In the last 7 home matches in the C2 Cup group stage, the Port City team won all of them. In addition, Liverpool also lost only 1 of the last 15 times against Belgian teams, which was against Anderlecht in the 1978 European Super Cup.

 

On the other side of the front line, Union Saint-Gilloise has participated in the Europa League group stage for the second consecutive year. In the first match of Group E this season, despite playing at home, the Belgian team only got 1 point against Toulouse. Thijs Dallinga gave the French side the lead, but the home team was able to equalize in the 69th minute thanks to in-form attacker Mohamed Amoura, who came off the bench to score the fourth goal. after 3 matches.
