Some fans have voiced their shock at Liverpool being awarded a free-kick for an alleged dive by Fabinho. Liverpool scored the winner from the set-piece.
In the 86th minute of the clash, substitute Divock Origi stunned fans by scoring a late winner for the Reds. All hope looked lost for Liverpool after Mo Salah was stretchered off. Take a look at Origi’s goal here.
In the midst of all the emotion, eagle-eyed fans noticed that Liverpool should never have been awarded the free-kick in the first place.
Some fans alleged Reds star Fabinho of diving, it certainly looked as though there was minimal contact and that the star went down easily after Matt Ritchie’s challenge.
