**Match-by-Match: David Coote’s Liverpool Games as Referee and VAR** In light of David Coote's recent suspension following a foul-mouthed tirade against Jürgen Klopp, we take a closer look at every Liverpool match he has officiated. **Liverpool 1-1 Burnley (11 July 2020):** This match marks Coote's debut as a referee for a Liverpool game. During the match, he controversially denied Andy Robertson a penalty in the 83rd minute after a challenge from Jóhann Gudmundsson. Robertson's frustration was palpable, as he was heard clearly voicing his discontent in the empty stadium, calling the decision a disgrace and questioning the referee's competence. After the final whistle, Klopp confronted Coote, expressing his concerns that goalkeeper Alisson had not received adequate protection during the match. Klopp acknowledged the team's anger towards the officiating but also emphasized the need for self-criticism, stating, “We were angry with the referee but we have to criticise ourselves first for not finishing the game.” This draw ultimately dashed Liverpool's hopes of becoming the first top-flight team to achieve a 100% home record since Sunderland in the 1891-92 season. This incident is just one of several matches involving Coote and Liverpool, highlighting the ongoing scrutiny of officiating in high-stakes games.
