World Cup: Jurgen Klopp Takes Arsenal Dig as Germany Have Goal Ruled Out v Paraguay

Jurgen Klopp took a dig at Arsenal after a disputed VAR decision ruled out Jonathan Tah’s goal during Germany’s World Cup exit against Paraguay. The match at Boston Stadium was expected to be a comfortable last-32 tie for Germany, which dominated possession in the first half. Julio Enciso gave Paraguay the lead just before halftime, and Germany restored parity after the break when Kai Havertz scored for Arsenal in the national-team match context. There were no further goals in regulation, and the game went to extra-time and then penalties. Tah thought he had put Germany ahead in the 103rd minute, but VAR disallowed the goal after Orlando Gill went down after contact with Germany substitute Waldemar Anton. Jose Canale scored a sudden-death winner for Paraguay in the shootout. Klopp, serving as a pundit for Magneta TV, referenced Arsenal’s Premier League record in his remarks about VAR’s reasoning.
