Alan Shearer sends message to Anthony Taylor after Liverpool FC vs Man City controversy

Alan Shearer has said that Anthony Taylor "let so much go" during his refereeing performance for Manchester City's 1-0 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday

Pep Guardiola's side lost their first game of the Premier League season after a second-half Mohamed Salah goal saw Liverpool claim all three points. Ederson had spectacularly denied the Egyptian earlier in the game with a superb save during a one-on-one, yet there was nothing the City goalkeeper could do the second-time round as the forward calmly slotted the ball into the bottom corner in a carbon copy of his first chance.

Phil Foden thought he had scored his seventh league goal of the season to give the Blues the lead earlier in the match. However, a VAR intervention saw Taylor overturn his decision to initially allow the goal to stand, after Erling Haaland was deemed to have fouled Fabinho in the build-up.
