Richard Keys believes Trent Alexander-Arnold should have been sent off during Liverpool's win over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday evening in North London.
The right-back was in a race with Spurs wingback Ryan Sessegnon and Alexander-Arnold gave his man a nudge in the back once he had run into the Liverpool penalty area.
After feeling slight contact, Sessegnon went to ground, but referee Andy Madley decided against awarding a penalty for Spurs - something that pundit Keys thought was the wrong decision.

OWNERSHIP NEWS: FSG statement as Liverpool 'put up for sale'
Liverpool were a goal in front at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium thanks to a Mohamed Salah finish after 10 minutes, but Antonio Conte's men feel they should have been awarded the chance to equalise not long after.
Manchester City full-back Joao Cancelo saw red after bringing down Harry Wilson in the box and Keys believes the same should have happened to Alexander-Arnold.
"Less than 24 hours later we’re all watching Liverpool at Spurs," Keys wrote in his blog. "Would you believe it TAA loses both concentration and his mind and rolls Sessegnon over in exactly the same way that Cancelo had Wilson.
"There‘s no difference between the two challenges. If anything TAA’s is worse. It’s got to be a pen. And TAA should really go off. There was no attempt to play the ball.
"Ok, Andy Madley didn’t see it so VAR will have a look and at the very minimum ask Madley to review it surely? I hear myself shouting ‘come on guys. This is easy. Darren England made this same call yesterday’. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Strange. So I have a look at who’s in VAR. You know what’s coming don’t you? Yep. Darren England.
"This time he’s sitting on his hands. Why? Did he think he was wrong at City? No-one did on the day or he’d have been asked to review his own decision. So what happened? It’s incredible. The only consistent thing about VAR is it’s inconsistency.
"I understand that when so many these calls are a matter of opinion. I’ve said before - that’s why VAR will always let us down - because most of these calls are about opinions - but come on. This was the same guy. How on earth can he see two incidents - exactly the same incidents - differently 24 hours apart? Incredible."
