Alan Shearer and Roy Keane in agreement over Liverpool penalty let-off in FA Cup victory

The Championship side’s fantastic FA Cup run came to an end after Diogo Jota’s late goal sent Jurgen Klopp’s side into a semi-final clash against Manchester City. The Portuguese ace lunged in at the back post to squeeze Kostas Tsimikas’ vicious in-swinging cross past Ethan Horvath.

However, one of the biggest moments of the game came when Ryan Yates appeared to be brought down by Alisson Becker, after he nipped the ball past the Liverpool and Brazil goalkeeper.
