Liverpool were left frustrated late on as Man City breathed a sigh of relief.
With seconds remaining, Man City substitute Jeremy Doku committed a rash challenge on Alexis Mac Allister inside the box.The referee didn’t award a penalty initially, but it quickly became clear that it would be subject to a VAR check.
Jurgen Klopp expressed his annoyance afterwards, suggesting that “football people” understand it is a penalty. It brought to mind a similarly riveting clash between these two sides in January 2019 at the Etihad Stadium. Liverpool fans will be praying the officials’ decision from this afternoon does not have similar consequences.At the start of the day, City looked in a stronger position. While Liverpool had several first-team regulars unavailable or only fit enough for the bench in the case of Mo Salah, City were close to full strength.
