The Belgian player received an unexpected pardon after his boot accidentally struck his opponent’s chest in the away team’s penalty area during the second half.
“It’s a clear penalty for anyone who understands football,” remarked the German in an interview with Sky Sports. He further explained, “He would have hit the player if the ball wasn’t there. So, the foot action is decisive.”
Surprisingly, despite a review of the incident, VAR chose not to intervene or request a closer examination by the on-field referee.
Jurgen Klopp’s assessment of Doku’s challenge on Mac Allister was accurate. The attempts by Sky Sports staff to justify the decision are quite astonishing.
Let’s be honest here! It was indeed a penalty. If the situation were reversed, it would still warrant a penalty!
Klopp displayed remarkable composure in the face of what seemed like a blatant robbery against his team.
Nevertheless, we look ahead, currently second in the table behind Arsenal by goal difference, with ample season remaining to compete for the title!
