Both Alan Shearer and Gary Linker questioned the decision to award Liverpool a penalty during their 3-1 win at Selhurst Park over a Crystal Palace side that were valiant in defeat.
The duo of ex-England internationals and former goal-getters were both firm in their stance that official Kevin Friend should not have pointed to the spot after Eagles goalkeeper Vicente Guaita was adjudged to have fouled Diogo Jota.
After the incident was the subject of a lengthy VAR review, Friend all but ended the tie as a contest given the penalty was awarded late on while the score was 2-1 to Liverpool.
