Footage reveals Liverpool benefitted from Anthony Taylor decision, leaving Man Utd feeling ‘robbed’
Liverpool were awarded a penalty at Old Trafford when Harvey Elliott went down in the box under the challenge of Aaron Wan-Bissaka. Mohamed Salah converted the penalty in the 84th minute, securing a draw for Liverpool. Manchester United fans expressed frustration, believing that their team was unfairly denied a win by referee Anthony Taylor’s decision to award the penalty.
After the match, video footage of the incident circulated on social media, with some fans suggesting that there was minimal or no contact between Wan-Bissaka and Elliott before the latter fell. This led to further contention among United fans who felt that they had been “robbed” of securing all three points. Several fans took to social media to express their dissatisfaction with the referee’s decision, with some even questioning the legitimacy of the penalty call.
Despite the controversy surrounding the penalty decision, former footballer Jamie Redknapp defended the call, stating that Elliott’s apparent clever play led to the penalty. The incident stirred debate among fans, with opinions sharply divided on whether the penalty was justified.
