Liverpool je pobijedio najvećeg rivala u borbi za titulu, ali naizgled visoka pobjeda od 3:1 ostala je u sjeni nekih sudijskih odluka.
Prva sporna odluka bila je kod prvog gola Liverpoola, koji je uslijedio nakon što je Alexander Arnold očigledno igrao rukom u svom kaznenom prostoru, a Liverpool je pogodio iz kontranapada.

Liverpool je samo pet minuta poslije udvostručio prednost preko Salaha.
Opet, egipatski napadač bio je naizgled u liniji sa odbranom, ali mnoge gledaoce začudila je činjenica da sudija nije bar pogledao da li se radilo o ofsajd poziciji.
This decision was tight. Salah looks offside but the big question is why didn't we see the red and blue lines this time? #LIVMCI pic.twitter.com/jFqNKYhrhn

Onda je Mane pogodio u 51. minuti i tad je bilo očigledno da će Liverpool slaviti.
Tračak nade dao je gostima Bernardo Silva u 78. minuti, a samo pet minuta poslije još jedna neshvatljiva sudijska odluka.
Michael Oliver nalazio se samo nekoliko metara od sporne situacija kad je Sterling očigledno pogodio u ruku koga drugog do Alexander Arnolda u šesnaestercu.
Typical of Liverpool’s season so far. Manchester City spend first five minutes attacking Liverpool’s goal, Alexander-Arnold handball outside natural silhouette not given as a penalty, Liverpool break from it and score past reserve goalkeeper. #LIVMCIhttps://t.co/fG10zknu2D pic.twitter.com/EOnqjgG6R0

Na kraju je, ironično, čestitao sudijama na današnjoj predstavi.
