PGMOL has explained the reason why Liverpool were not awarded a penalty against Manchester Cityblast nigh

The Premier League has explained why Liverpool did not get a penalty in the last few seconds of their match against Manchester City.

They could have taken a lead over Pep Guardiola’s Man City and won three important points in the title race.

At Anfield, the points were shared as they were. After John Stones scored the first goal, Alexis Mac Allister’s penalty kick in the second half tied the game. The home team had many chances to score more goals in the second half because they were in charge.

In the last minute of extra time, the Reds thought they should have been given another chance from the penalty spot. Mac Allister was hit in the chest by Jérémy Doku’s high boot, which led to a long VAR check.

Soon after, the game was over because VAR judge Stuart Atwell decided to stick with Michael Oliver’s decision made on the field. But the fans were furious with the decision, and Jürgen Klopp got angry with the judge at the end of the game.

Based on the ECHO, PGMOL’s reason for the ruling was that “VAR said that Doku played the ball.”

But former judge Mike Dean, who was on Sky Sports’ commentating team, said the City winger was exceptionally lucky.
Dean said before the decision was made official, “It is a huge decision for the VAR.” “He just barely touched the ball, but the follow-through hit him in the ribs.” They might have sent the official to the screen, which wouldn’t surprise me.

A great game that showed how good both teams were will be remembered for a controversial moment at the end.

It looked like Doku had the ball first, but he was too rough with the other player and was lucky not to get in trouble for it.

In the end, a draw seemed fair because Man City played better in the first half and Liverpool played better in the second.
