Jurgen Klopp confronted referee Michael Oliver after Liverpool were denied a late penalty

When Jeremy Doku and Alexis Mac Allister collided in the eighth minute of extra time, the score was tied at one.

As they both raced after the ball in the box, the City attacker was seen on replay kicking Mac Allister in the chest.

The game ended in a draw after referee Oliver signalled for play to continue and the VAR crew declined to step in.

After the final whistle, a furious Klopp approached Oliver to question him about the contentious judgement.

During the commentary at the moment, Manchester United great Gary Neville stated, “I think he is a lucky, lucky boy.”

Neville went on, “Doku is extremely fortunate.” I believed he was having problems.”

Arsenal now leads the table after an exciting match between the two teams ended without a winner.

City center-back In the first half, Mac Allister’s penalty tied the score after John Stones’ goal put the game ahead.

After the final whistle, Klopp expressed his continued shock, saying, “It was a penalty, 100 percent of the time.”

“They will discover a reason. It was a clear foul in every region of the field, and a yellow card was most likely in order.

“Everyone around me who had an iPad exclaimed, ‘Wow, clear.'” Perhaps by using the words “it is not clear and obvious,” they can remain hidden.

Of course there is a penalty, but it is okay that we did not receive it. For me, the fact that we can play football that way is the most essential thing.

“I saw so many sensational performances today.”

Experts’ opinions

However, Sky pundit Roy Keane disagreed. “Klopp makes a good point about Doku getting the ball, but his foot is so high,” he said to Sky Sports.

“I do not believe that it is motivated by anything. Thus, I believe the authorities got it correct.”

“I think he sees Mac Allister coming in and he is almost trying to pull his foot away,” stated former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher. That will not be overturned, in my opinion, if it is being provided on the pitch.

“But he has not completely gone through him once it is not offered. Anywhere else on the pitch, according to Klopp, is a foul. I concur, but in football, there is an unspoken rule that a penalty must be a little bit more.

“It needs to be slightly larger when it is within the box. He is fortunate, yet I understand why he does not have it.”
