Anthony Gordon

Anthony Gordon was denied a penalty after a challenge from Joel Matip; Sadio Mane and Richarlison both could have been sent off as Liverpool won 2-0; ...

It's a clear one too so a really good decision." It's very difficult to say he made a genuine effort to play the ball when there's an upper body challenge." He goes down a bit too easily and it's not a penalty for me. Because the ball runs through to the goalkeeper so quickly, I thought he would pick up. VAR feels it's a yellow card offence and he can't recommend a yellow card offence to the referee. But looking at it time and again, I feel like it should've been a penalty." DERMOT SAYS: "When you see the whole package, he is very lucky to still be on the pitch. I would've liked Stuart Attwell to go to the monitor and have a look again. I thought it was a penalty first, but when I saw it again, I wasn't convinced. "I am not trying to create conflict there, I just think it is the reality of football sometimes. "The referee is really clever because he doesn't make an instant decision. He's a great player and lad, one of the best on the pitch today.
