Tom Cairney referee penalty claim in Liverpool loss 'definitely not true'

Stuart Attwell didn't admit he made a mistake in awarding Liverpool a penalty in their win over Fulham, despite claims to the contrary from Tom Cairney, it has been reported.

Fulham captain Cariney said in an interview following his side's 1-0 defeat at Anfield on Wednesday that referee Attwell told one of his team-mates that he made a mistake in awarding a first-half penalty after Darwin Nunez was brought down in the box by Issa Diop.

Mohamed Salah netted the resulting spot-kick, which proved to be the only goal of the game as Liverpool extended their winning run to five games.
