Following Liverpool’s 1-1 draw against Manchester City on Sunday, where Alexis Mac Allister’s penalty cancelled out John Stones’ opener, the Reds missed the opportunity to reclaim top spot in the league. Despite dominating the second half and creating numerous scoring opportunities, including several for Luis Diaz, Liverpool failed to secure all three points, leaving Arsenal with a slender lead at the summit on goal difference. Neville, speaking on the Gary Neville Podcast, lauded Klopp’s impact on Liverpool’s resurgence, contrasting it with Pep Guardiola’s tenure at Manchester City. “They’re both exceptional managers,” Neville remarked. “But Klopp’s connection with the players, staff,…
Liverpool under-21s’ hopes of a Premier League top-four finish suffered a setback as they were held to a goalless stalemate against Reading. The young Reds were without several players due to their involvement in Jurgen Klopp’s side for the 1-1 draw against Manchester City on the same afternoon. Because of first-team injuries, Bobby Clark, James McConnell and Lewis Koumas continued with the first team while 17-year-old centre-back Amara Nallo was also called up in the absence of Ibrahima Konate. As a result, Jay Spearing – a player-coach in Liverpool’s academy – started for the under-21s. The midfielder came through the…
Former English football referees Mark Clattenberg and Keith Hackett were in complete agreement that Liverpool should have been award a late penalty against Manchester City on Sunday. The Reds felt incredibly hard done by at Anfield during their 1-1 draw with the Cityzens when Alexis Mac Allister wasn’t awarded a 98th-minute spot kick following Jeremy Doku’s challenge. Despite getting a slight touch on the ball, Doku ended up studding Liverpool’s Argentine in the chest as he attempted to play the ball inside the penalty area – a decision that almost certainly would have been given anywhere else on the pitch.…
Alexis Mac Allister has aired his views on the incident which saw him denied what looked a blatant penalty at the end of Liverpool’s 1-1 draw against Manchester City on Sunday. Deep into stoppage time, the Argentine was caught on the chest by Jeremy Doku, and even a VAR review didn’t lead to Michael Oliver so much as being called over to the pitchside monitor for another look. The 25-year-old was speaking to BBC Sport after the match when he made no secret of his displeasure over the officials’ decision. Mac Allister said: “I think it’s a clear penalty. I…
It looks to be going right down to the wire at the top of the table this season. With only 10 games to go, Arsenal lead the three-horse race on goal difference. That’s after they secured a late 2-1 victory over Brentford on Saturday (March 9), and their rivals drew 1-1 at Anfield yesterday – the same result as the reverse fixture at the Etihad. As well as the Champions League, TNT Sports will also be offering sports fans access to games across the Premier League, Europa League, Serie A and much more. It handed the Gunners control of their…
The reason behind VAR’s controversial decision not to award Liverpool a late penalty against Manchester City during Sunday’s Premier League has emerged. Jeremy Doku’s boot appeared to make contact with the chest of Alexis Mac Allister in the 99th minute of the encounter, but Michael Oliver didn’t award the spot-kick and the referee’s on-field call was backed up by the VAR officials. John Stones’ opening goal from a clever City corner routine was cancelled out early in the second half by Mac Allister’s strike from 12 yards after Ederson clattered Darwin Nunez in the penalty area following Nathan Ake’s under-hit…
Following one of the biggest games of the season for the Reds on Sunday, Liverpool will now have to wait three weeks before returning to Premier League action. The Reds managed a 1-1 draw with title rivals Manchester City at Anfield this weekend, a result which means they have surrendered their place at the top of the table for the time being. It was an impressive performance from Jurgen Klopp’s side, who will rue some big missed opportunities in the second half. While it could prove decisive in the race to be crowned champions, there are plenty of challenging fixtures…
Former Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg has admitted Liverpool should have been awarded a last-gasp penalty during their 1-1 draw against Manchester City on Saturday. Liverpool were incensed after Alexis Mac Allister went down inside the box in the 98th minute. The Argentine appeared to be caught in the chest by Jeremy Doku, who got some of the ball but followed through into Mac Allister as the Reds midfielder went down clutching his upper body. Referee Michael Oliver waved away appeals and VAR official Stuart Atwell did not overturn the decision for a clear and obvious error. Jurgen Klopp believes…
Alan Shearer has labelled Liverpool as ‘outstanding’ after Jurgen Klopp’s side played out an entertaining 1-1 draw with Manchester City. Two of the Premier League’s big-hitters went toe-to-toe for 90 minutes at Anfield and could not be separated, leaving the title race wide open involving Jurgen Klopp’s men, Man City and Arsenal. John Stones’ opener was cancelled out Alexis Mac Allister’s penalty, with the Reds also denied a late penalty. Liverpool, who next face Manchester United in their FA Cup quarter-final contest next weekend, will hope to have the likes of Ibrahima Konate and potentially Thiago Alcantara back from injury,…
PGMOL has provided an explanation for why Liverpool did not receive a penalty in the last moments of their Premier League match against Manchester City. The Reds could have won crucial three points in the title race and taken a lead against Pep Guardiola’s Man City. As it was, at Anfield, the points were shared. After John Stones’ opener, Alexis Mac Allister’s penalty kick in the second half tied the score, and the home team had plenty of opportunities to score more as they controlled the second half. The Reds believed that in the last minute of stoppage time, they…
