Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool played out a 1-1 draw with Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City at Anfield in the Premier League on Sunday.

It was one of the best matches we have seen in the Premier League this season. Both Liverpool and Manchester City tried to win the game and kept going until the final whistle.

While both Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola will be pleased with the final result, Liverpool fans will feel aggrieved at being denied a potential penalty in injury time.

Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister, who scored from the penalty spot in the 50th minute, was involved in a controversial incident in injury time.

Richard Keys gives his verdict on Liverpool vs Manchester City penalty incident

Deep into injury time City winger Jeremy Doku caught Mac Allister in the chest with a high boot.

The Argentina international star went down inside the penalty area. A VAR check decided that Doku had got the ball first. No penalty was given. Former Premier League referee Mike Dean thought otherwise.

As you can see, beIN SPORT presenter Richard Keys thinks that Liverpool were denied a penalty.

The former Sky Sports pundit is not happy at all with the decision and has gone on a rant.

Liverpool are second in the Premier League table at the moment with 64 points from 28 matches.

The Merseyside club are level on points with leaders Arsenal and are a point ahead of defending champions and third-placed Manchester City.

My View: Liverpool have to move on

In my opinion, Liverpool have to move on from the controversial decision against Manchester City.

There is nothing that the Reds can do now. They just have to accept it and look forward to their next game.

Liverpool should be proud of themselves for the way that they played and matched City, who are the defending European champions.

I think that Liverpool have a very good chance of winning the Premier League title this season. They are playing well at the moment, scoring goals and are strong defensively.
