Jurgen Klopp believes that Alexis Mac Allister did not commit a handball in the run-up to Jarell Quansah’s disallowed goal against Toulouse.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Liverpool manager saw a late equaliser from Quansah overturned after referee\u00a0Georgi Kabakov ruled that Mac Allister had handled the ball well before.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It denied Liverpool a draw at the death and saw them lose 3-2 in France to surrender their perfect Europa League record this campaign.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Klopp said: ‘I only saw the video back now and for me it’s not a handball, but how can I decide that? The ball goes to the chest and then I don’t see a contact with the arm, to be honest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘Maybe they had a different picture than I had. It was pretty long ago before we scored the goal and I thought, ‘Where is the free-kick?’ I didn’t see it properly but I heard there could have been a penalty for us in another situation, I don’t know.<\/p>\n

Jurgen Klopp feels Liverpool were hard done by with Jarell Quansah’s disallowed equaliser<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Quansah was denied his first Liverpool goal due to an adjudged Alexis Mac Allister handball\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Klopp said that while he was aggrieved over the decision, he was more concerned about his team’s lack of aggression<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Liverpool had the ball in the back of the net late on, but the equaliser was duly ruled out for this<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Aron Donnum opened the scoring for the hosts after a terrible mistake from Kostas Tsimikas<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Thijs Dallinga scored the second after having one ruled out for a foul to put the hosts on top<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Reds were handed a lifeline by Toulouse as a Cristian Casseres own goal made it 2-1 on 74 minutes<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But within two minutes Frank Magri – who had just come off the bench – restored the two-goal cushion<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Diogo Jota came off the bench to make it 3-2 and set up the grandstand finish with a fine solo effort<\/p>\n

‘Actually, I am a bit more concerned about [the fact that] I would have loved us to have played better, to be honest. That’s my main issue tonight. In a football way more aggressive.<\/p>\n
‘It was well deserved to lose because they won pretty much all the decisive challenges, battles. We have too many situations where we should have won the ball but we didn’t.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘On top of that we gave the ball away easily at least twice – one was a goal, the other I am not sure if it was an allowed goal or a disallowed goal. Counter-attack, third goal, last line too deep. Defending-wise it was just not good enough.<\/p>\n
When you concede three goals then you need to score a lot of goals to still win it and obviously it nearly happened that we got a point here. That wouldn’t have made the game better, but it would have felt better in the table.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘But that’s it now, so we have to accept it. As I said, well deserved.’<\/p>\n
It was a rollercoaster game in Toulouse and played out differently to expected after Liverpool’s 5-1 demolition job of their opponents at Anfield in October.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Aron Donnum gave the hosts a surprise lead after 36 minutes and by 58 Toulouse were two ahead courtesy of a Thijs Dallinga goal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Klopp’s men showed fighting spirit and got one back via a Cristian Casseres Jr. own goal 73 minutes in, only for the French outfit to restore their two-goal advantage thanks to Frank Magri three minutes later.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diogo Jota’s 89th-minute goal gave the Reds a ray of hope and they thought they had sealed a point with Quansah’s last-minute strike, but it was cruelly overturned.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
