Fans fume as Aston Villa wasn’t awarded penalty against Liverpool during crucial Premier League clash
the Villa doesn’t have the chance to regain top spot in the Premier League with a win against Liverpool
After a cagey start to the match, Ramsey was injured and was taken out, Villa was denied penalty at the end of the match.
VAR checked and cleared the decision as var and referee denied the penalty that keep the Liverpool ahead of Villa
However, fans were left fuming after replays showed that Virgil van dijk didn’t get a touch on the ball before making contact with Aston Villa player .
Reacting on social media, one fan said: “How on earth is that a not a penalty? What a disgraceful decision.”
A third fan added: “First contact is immediately they shut the corner… that should be a PENALTY!”
This was obvious from the beginning of the match with the Reds taking control and surging up the field from kick off.
In the end it was a brilliant finish from Darwin Nunez that helped Slot’s side take the lead after Mohamed Salah was clearly pulled down by Leon Bailey in the build up to the goal as the Reds surged forward during a devastating counter attack.
Salah then rounded off the victory from another devastating counter showing off his speed yet again.
Ridiculous David Coote decision
Coote is not a popular figure among Liverpool fans and he will not have endeared himself to the club’s supporters with his latest decision.
When Salah was blatantly brought down during the counter attack in the build up to Liverpool goal, Coote waved play on.
The incident would have likely have been brought to VAR but in the end Nunez finished and the Reds had nothing to worry about.
Though in retrospect the fact that Coote didn’t even award advantage and didn’t deem the foul on Salah as a foul is a little bit concerning.
Salah breaking another record
Another day, another record broken by Salah. He’s in the best form of his life and just gets better and better week in week out.
He seems to age like Benjamin Button and this was on show on Saturday evening as well with Salah showcasing electrifying speed to break away in the counter for Liverpool’s goals in this game.
His assist is his 10th in all competitions this season, which is the earlier any Liverpool player has reached double figures for assists in all competitions during the last 40 seasons.
