Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk was unimpressed as the Netherlands had a goal controversially ruled out by VAR in their 0-0 draw with France
Virgil van Dijk fired a subtle yet noticeable dig at the standard of English refereeing after Netherlands’ 0-0 draw with France on Friday night.
"A bit of a disappointment… Disappointment because we scored a goal that is a fair goal,” Van Dijk insisted after the game. “He had no chance to get into that corner. Former Liverpool striker Neil Mellor would point the finger of blame purely at Attwell when taking to social media after the game, posting: “Anthony Taylor did well last night in a big game. He was let down badly by his mate on var. Stuart Attwell is not a good official for me and somehow gets a call up to be at euros!”
Van Dijk also has recent history with Attwell on VAR duties, with the official having been the man responsible for his controversial red card issued against Newcastle United last August. “Ok, so I'm happy with that being... .freeze it there, freeze it there. OK, so the ball's going to roll across the front of him. Without the moving challenge, the attacker's got position. He's moving directly into the penalty area, that's fine."
