As the final whistle blew on a dramatic clash, which marked the last Premier League encounter between Liverpool and Manchester City under Jurgen Klopp, a major penalty shout emerged, sparking heated debate among fans and pundits alike.
Referee Michael Oliver and VAR Stuart Attwell deemed Doku’s high boot, which made contact with Mac Allister’s chest, as non-foul, much to the astonishment of Liverpool players and supporters.
The controversial decision has stirred significant controversy in the aftermath of the match, leaving many questioning the consistency and effectiveness of VAR in adjudicating such pivotal moments in the game.
Speaking to BBC Sport after the game, Mac Allister addressed the incident, shedding light on his perspective and the frustration felt by Liverpool following the decision.
“Me? Just me? You think it’s just me?!” he said, when put to him that he would think it’s a penalty.
“I think it’s a clear penalty, I cannot say much more.
“I think the ref did a very good job throughout the game, but I think he made a mistake in the last decision.”
