Slot, speaking to BBC MOTD, said, “First half, they were dominating completely. We struggled a lot with the amount of players they bring in between the lines.
“We went 2-0 behind – then it is even harder – when you come here to change things around in the second half.”
On Virgil van Dijk’s disallowed goal, Slot added: “Again, it was not a good performance from us in the first half. Again, it was a fair reflection of the first half that they were 2-0 up. But I cannot agree with the decision being made on that. For me, that is a goal. Immediately after the game, people showed me the goal City made away at Wolves last season.
“For me, that is a similar one. I was surprised because the first thing you do when you score, you look at the linesman – it took 14 seconds before he raised his flag. These things didn’t help us, but again, City being 2-0 up at half-time was a fair reflection of the score.”
