Diogo Dalot had a reason to react, leading to his disqualification in the Liverpool 0-0 Man Utd match.
At Anfield, Man Utd played resiliently despite being much underestimated.
Accordingly, despite the enormous pressure from Liverpool, Man Utd’s defense still stood firm.
One point in this match is considered a success, but Man Utd players have reason to be dissatisfied with the referee’s decision.
That was the situation that took place at minute 90+4. At that time, Liverpool counterattacked and the ball was passed to Mohamed Salah.
Diogo Dalot immediately sped up and prevented the Egyptian striker from reaching the ball.
The slow-motion situation shows that the ball touched Salah’s foot before going over the touchline. However, it seemed that the linesman did not observe the ball in time, so Liverpool was awarded a throw-in.
Dalot expressed anger with this decision by referee Michel Oliver.
Dalot claimed the right to throw in, resulting in an immediate yellow card.
After that, the Portuguese player continued to express his disappointment and reacted to the referee. He received a second card within 10 seconds, meaning he was sent off the field.
The British media simultaneously said that this was Mr. Oliver’s heavy-handed decision. In fact, Dalot only became angry after Liverpool were awarded a throw-in. Fortunately, Man Utd did not concede a goal after Dalot was sent off.
