However, the Uruguayan could have been sent off for this foul. After the referee whistled for a foul, he hit the ball over the ground, which could easily have resulted in a yellow card. In addition, Dalot was booked in the 94th minute for protesting the referee’s decision to award Liverpool a free kick.
It looked like the matter was settled, but seconds later he received a second yellow card for a bizarre dissent. This led to fans criticizing the referee for his anti-Liverpool attitude. It was a disappointing performance from Liverpool who dominated most of the game but lacked attack. They returned to the top of the table, one point ahead of Arsenal, and had the chance to extend the gap on defending champions Manchester City to six points, but failed to capitalize.
Manchester United fans believe Darwin Nunes should have been sent off in the first half of the game. Liverpool went into the game as heavy favorites after winning 7-0 last time out. However, second-placed Liverpool were held to a draw at Anfield, which would certainly be a good result for them.In the first half, Núñez tackled united defender Jonny Evans and referee Michael Oliver flagged a booked foul.
