The visitors were awarded a penalty right away by referee Anthony Taylor, which infuriated United supporters.Regards: GettyAt Old Trafford, Luis Diaz gave Jurgen Klopp’s team the lead, but Bruno Fernandes tied the score for United following a Jarell Quansah error.
Then, in the 67th minute, Kobbie Mainoo produced an incredible goal to give United the lead.
But when Harvey Elliott looked to have been fouled in the box by Aaron Wan-Bissaka in the 84th minute, leading to a penalty, dispute broke out.
Since Wan-Bissaka appeared to commit to the challenge before Elliott kicked the ball away and hooked his foot under the defender’s leg in slow-motion video, fans have questioned the verdict.As the video went viral, many admirers voiced their opinions.
“Literally no contact!!” exclaimed one. So enraged.”
“How tf this was a penalty,” said another. Wan Bissaka was not even touched by Harvey Elliot when he landed onto his leg, lol. LiVARpool in its purest form.”
Then a third said, “Harvey Elliott dragged his right leg while waiting for a contact from Wan Bissaka, and I’m still furious about the penalty… If VAR can correct such petty mistakes, what good is it?Similar to the late penalty that United gave away to Chelsea on Thursday night, another supporter echoed same viewpoint.
The statement they made was, “I’ve seen this footage and Chelsea’s penalty a million times together. What the heck are these choices?With just one point from Old Trafford, Liverpool begins the Premier League title figҺt.
The Reds lead Manchester City by one point and behind Arsenal solely on goal differential..
