“Manchester City” on Sunday played away to “Liverpool” and finished with a 1:1 draw.
However, the end of the match could have turned in a different direction, as Jeremy Doku played dangerously in the penalty area against Alex Mac Allister. However, neither the referee on the field nor the VAR referees noticed any fouls in that episode, which caused great anger for “Liverpool” manager Jurgen Klopp.
“This situation in any part of the field is 100% a foul and a yellow card. Yes, he touched the ball, because it was possible to do so. But if there was no ball there, he would have killed it,” commented J. Klopp on the situation.
Another opinion on this episode comes from “Man City” captain Kyle Walker, who praised referee Michael Oliver at a press conference on Monday, saying that the referee did not succumb to the pressure at “Anfield.”
“In my opinion, the referee and VAR made the right decision in that situation. I think the referee did a great job in that match.
Knowing the atmosphere at “Anfield” stadium, the referee could have easily cracked under such pressure in that situation. However, the referee showed his character and why he is considered not only one of the best in England, but also in the world,” said K. Walker.
