Doku’s studs found Mac Allister’s chest, a moment ripe for controversy, yet no penalty was awarded despite a VAR review, leaving fans and pundits alike in a state of disbelief. Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool’s animated and outspoken manager, was unequivocal in his post-match interview with Sky Sports, stating:
This is a penalty for all football people on the planet. If you think it is not one then maybe you aren’t a football person.
The match itself was a titanic encounter between two of the Premier League’s heavyweights, each vying to gain an upper hand in the title race. However, they had to settle for a draw. Despite Liverpool’s statistical dominance—enjoying 53% possession and launching 19 shots to City’s 10—the teams were deadlocked, both managing six shots on target.
Klopp, reflecting on his team’s performance and the match’s outcome, expressed a mix of frustration and pride. He lauded the second half as:
The best we ever played against Manchester City. It was an exceptional football game. Wow!
The result leaves Liverpool and Arsenal tied at 64 points after 28 games, with City trailing just a point behind. Klopp’s assertion that his team has proved they belong at the top of the table underscores the intense competition and the slim margins that separate the league’s leading teams.
