Rio Ferdinand responds to Newcastle complaints over Liverpool goal

Ex-Manchester United star Rio Ferdinand says there is 'no chance' James Milner's challenge on Fabian Schar in the build up to Liverpool's goal is a foul.

The Reds beat Eddie Howe's side 1-0 at St James' Park on Saturday afternoon following a composed finish from Naby Keita. Liverpool now sit top of the table before title rivals Manchester City are in action against Leeds United later today.

In the build up to the goal, there were shouts for a foul on the Newcastle defender, but play was waved on by referee Andre Marriner and Keita went on to score. VAR looked at the incident and replays showed there was little in it and Milner won the ball.
