Liverpool fans fume with Martin Tyler commentary after disallowed Man City goal

Liverpool supporters have taken aim at Martin Tyler for comments he made during their side’s game with Manchester City.

The Reds were looking to close the gap at the top of the Premier League table following a slow start to their domestic campaign this season. Jurgen Klopp’s side have won just twice in the league this season prior to this afternoon's game.

And at the start of the second-half, things got heated when City saw a goal ruled out following a VAR review. Foden had the ball in the net for Pep Guardiola’s side, but after visiting the Referee Review Area Anthony Taylor disallowed the goal because Erling Haaland fouled Fabinho in the build-up.

Speaking ahead of the game, Guardiola has dismissed the idea that City have traditionally struggled when playing Liverpool at Anfield because of the atmosphere generated by the home crowd.

He said: "Of course the crowd is involved but basically it [City struggling at Anfield] is because they have a good team.

"It’s one of the biggest atmospheres, the nicest ones and it is a joy to be there to be part of these games. But it is a football game and Liverpool is important because of the quality they have."
