Liverpool manager Arne Slot believes Hugo Ekitike should have been awarded a penalty against Leeds United in Thursday’s Premier League game.
The Dutchman’s comments come after referee Chris Kavanagh failed to award a spot-kick in favour of Hugo Ekitike during the first half of Liverpool’s 0-0 against Leeds United on New Year’s Day.
Reacting after the game, Slot told BBC that Liverpool deserved a penalty against Leeds United.

“I don’t think it’s a surprise to anyone that one of my players stay on their feet.
“It happened against West Ham that Lucas Paqueta should have got a second yellow but one of my players stayed on his feet.
“It’s just a team who we are and unfortunately it’s not recognised. I saw Leeds players going down in the second half. The questions is, should we change or not? I don’t think we should.
“If he goes down it probably would have been a red card and a penalty and that would have increased our chances of winning.”
