“I can stand here and say it shouldn’t have been given bit it was, so it is what it is.”

Iraola hails importance of three points

“It is a massive win for us because we were in a difficult situation, especially last week in terms of numbers and in defensive players,” Iraola told BBC Sport.

“We are finding ways to get points against difficult opposition. I am very proud of the team and what we are doing. We are adapting and we are getting good points.

“I think it is a win that we needed. We are now on 30 points, we need the points and we need them as soon as possible. We are still in relegation situation so we still have to fight and go for points.”

Arne Slot explains heated interaction with officials at full-time

“For me, four minutes of added time was not enough but in the end that didn’t matter because they scored,” he said.

“Although then we could’ve maybe had two or three minutes but this game shouldn’t have had four minutes of extra time. There was already a free-kick that took two or three minutes, there was VAR moments, there was substitutions. That’s what I said to them, that four minutes wasn’t enough.

“We were down to 10 men and then they scored their second and that was the only few minutes bar from the last 10 minutes that we had some problems. But the result was another loss.”

Match-winner Adli reflects on his moment

“I think, like I said before, we play football for moments like this,” Adli told BBC Sport.

“The people are coming for this and to see all the happiness in everybody, the members of staff, all the people who are working for the club and the fans, it’s for moments like this we play football.

“It’s a crazy moment. Obviously it’s the first time it’s happened to me. The emotions are amazing, but overall it shows the character of the team.

“I think we played a very good game against a very tough opponent and this goal is showing all the work rate of the whole team and hopefully I score this one, for sure I’m even more happy. I’m just happy for the team.”

Van Dijk says Liverpool conceding with 10 men was ‘not on Alisson’

“We were with 10 men, you can argue that we have to kick the ball out,” Van Dijk told Sky Sports.

“It’s not on Alisson. It’s easy to say he should have done this. It is a split second.

“We decided to keep the ball as we had possession and unfortunately for us we conceded. Losing never feels good, especially as a Liverpool player.”

Senesi: ‘Unbelievable because we needed a win’

“To be honest, unbelievable,” Senesi said. “I think we did a very good first half going to 2-0 then they scored, they draw the game. A late winner is perfect for us.

“Unbelievable because we need a win. Everyone below us is getting points, so it is massive for us to win today against a really good side like Liverpool. They are doing amazing and it was a good game and at the end we got the result.

“The team is staying together, doing the work even we have a few injuries and important players for us. Everyone is stepping up and we got an important result today.”

“It was Curtis Jones who tripped him.”
