Mourinho 'upset' over VAR inconsistency after Liverpool's win over Man City

The former Manchester United coach hit out at the technology as it continues to overshadow action on the pitch
Jose Mourinho is 'upset' over a lack of consistency VAR is bringing to the Premier League.

Liverpool's 3-1 win over Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday saw the Reds open the scoring in questionable circumstances with Fabinho's goal allowed to stand despite claims for a penalty at the other end, after the ball seemed to strike the hand of Trent Alexander-Arnold. 

Seven minutes later Mohamed Salah then doubled Liverpool's lead, though replays suggested the Egyptian could have been marginally offside. 



While not saying whether he believes the right decisions were made on the night, Mourinho stressed VAR is frustrating him due to continued inconsistencies over decisions. 

"I think we've spoken enough about it and I think the main question is just consistency," Mourinho said on Sky Sports post-match.

"That's what really upsets me in the game, in this moment, that one weekend it's not a penalty and next week it's going to be a penalty. For me, that's the crucial point of it.

"The game was so good and there is so much to speak about the game that I think enough is enough." 

Speaking prior to the game, the former Chelsea boss declared Liverpool would likely win the Premier League if they defeated Pep Guardiola's side. 

Mourinho's own record against the Reds in recent years hasn't been impressive with the Portuguese coach conceding Jurgen Klopp's attack excel at breaking up defences. 

“Let’s forget the last time I played here, because the last time I played here, I lost 3-1 and I was sacked,” he said.
