Gary Neville was spotted saying Liverpool shouldn’t have been awarded a late penalty in their 2-2 draw with Manchester United on Sunday.
The Red Devils were leading 2-1 after they fought back from a goal down, courtesy of brilliant efforts from Bruno Fernandes and Kobbie Mainoo.
But with a few minutes remaining in normal time, referee Anthony Taylor awarded a penalty to Liverpool after a challenge from Aaron Wan-Bissaka on Harvey Elliott.
Mohamed Salah made no mistake from the spot as the visitors managed to come away with a point from the home of their bitter rivals.
However, Neville was seen claiming that Jurgen Klopp’s side shouldn’t have been given a penalty.
Neville is right
Liverpool shouldn’t have been awarded a penalty that ultimately denied Erik ten Hag’s side three points in the Premier League fixture.
Elliott was going down even before Wan-Bissaka touched him. However, the defender should be making that challenge in the box.
United’s overall performance at Old Trafford wasn’t good. They collected a point due to individual brilliance.
The attacking trio of Alejandro Garnacho, Rasmus Hojlund and Marcus Rashford were disappointing as they failed to trouble the Reds’ backline.
Bruno Fernandes scored a brilliant goal but the Portuguese wasn’t at his best, losing possession 18 times in the game.
