Manchester United fans accuse referee of bias as Dalot gets sent off, but Nunez escapes one

Posted by

Manchester United fans believe Darwin Nunez should have been sent off during the first half of the match. 

Liverpool went into the game as massive favourites having beaten them 7-0 last time around.

But the second string United team managed to earn a draw at Anfield which will no doubt be considered a great result for them.

During the first half, Nunez barged into Tottenham defender Jonny Evans which was deemed a bookable offense by referee Michael Oliver.

But the Uruguayan could have been easily sent off for his reaction to the foul. Immediately after the referee blew the whistle for a foul, he booted the ball far away, which could have easily been a yellow card.

Meanwhile, in the 94th minute, Dalot picked up a yellow for dissent as he protested the referee’s decision of a throw-in to Liverpool. And while the matter seemed to have settled, seconds later he was shown a second yellow for dissent in bizarre circumstances.

It resulted in fans calling out the referee for his alleged biasness towards Liverpool.

It was a disappointing performance from Liverpool who were wasteful in the attack despite dominating much of the game.

They had the chance to go back to top of the table with a one point lead over Arsenal and extend the game between them and defending champions Manchester City to 6 points but they failed to capitalise on the opportunity.
