Liverpool scored five against West Ham yesterday, improving their prospects of Champions League qualification.
Scott Parker was left sad and disappointed by more video assistant referee controversy after Burnley’s spirited comeback came to nothing.
Parker said: “Maybe a little bit of injustice. I’ve not watched it back. I saw it on the big screen and I was thinking it looks like his hand is beside his side. It looks so, so harsh.
“We’ve gone and scored five goals in the space of 60 minutes, which is quite incredible. The world we’re in, we’re all looking for perfection. The game is looking for perfection.”
The game of the weekend so far took place at Turf Moor yesterday, where Brentford clinched a dramatic 4-3 win against Burnley. The visitors went 3-0 up in the first half but Scott Parker’s side brought it back to 3-3 in the 60th minute.
Burnley then had a potential winner disallowed for an offside before Mikkel Damsgaard scored Brentford’s fourth. The Clarets equalised late through Ashley Barnes but that goal was also ruled out due to a handball.
