Fulham were left fuming at Anfield on Wednesday night with one player claiming even the referee didn't think Mo Salah's match winning penalty should ever have been awarded.
Just three days on from officials being in the spotlight following Liverpool's chaotic win over Tottenham, the same venue again courted controversy although this time around, it had little to do with Jurgen Klopp's touchline antics. Instead, the talking point centred around the game's defining moment in the 39th minute when Darwin Nunez went down in the box after dispossessing Issa Diop.
Referee Stuart Attwell pointed to the spot, with his call seemingly vindicated by a swift VAR check. However, slow motion replays seemed to show that Diop avoided making any contact with the Uruguayan forward, and midfielder Tom Cairney later claimed that Attwell acknowledged that notion.
