Former Premier League referee clarifies two key incidents in Man City vs Liverpool FC

Dermot Gallagher believes both controversial incidents involving Liverpool's Fabinho and Thiago Alcantara in the match against Manchester City were called correctly by referee Anthony Taylor.

In a tight and tense affair, quick passages of play from both sides led to lots of strong challenges and red card shouts. Mainly from City's players, who were left furious on a couple of occasions that some key decisions did not go their way.

It finished 2-2, with Kevin De Bruyne and Gabriel Jesus giving City the lead twice before being pegged back by Diogo Jota and Sadio Mane. However, it may not have finished that way if the visitors had been on the receiving end of some different decisions by the referee.
