Latest Liverpool news: Fans slate referee and linesman for not catching foul on Alisson
Liverpool returned to winning ways and cut the deficit on Manchester City to one point in the Premier League.
The Reds faced a tough Burnley side and came out 4-2 winners in a game which we controlled for most of the 90 minutes.
However, Burnley scored the first goal of the game, and it came under controversial circumstances. The Clarets were handed a corner and they scored directly from it but Alisson was seen remonstrating with the referee.
Replays showed that the Brazilian had been impeded by two players and could not collect the ball comfortably.
Reds push on to win
That Ashley Westwood goal came in the sixth minute and the Reds seemed to be fired up. Roberto Firmino equalised before Sadio Mane gave us the lead.
Mohamed Salah then raced clear in the second half before a tackle left Firmino open to score his second of the game. The match seemed set to finish 3-1 but Burnley got a goal back in added time through Johann Berg Gudmundsson.
However, the Reds were not going to let slip of this lead as Mane was sent clear for his second of the game, as he rounded the keeper and scored.
Liverpool certainly deserved the win and could have scored more than four goals. However, it is best to take it one game at a time.
After City’s lucky goal yesterday, many fans were upset with the referee for not cancelling the first goal we conceded, and here are some of the reactions from Twitter.
Shocking referees will decide the PL title race. Sterling 1st goal yesterday & now the foul on Alisson. Both dreadful decisions 🤷♂️⚽️

When the hell are the PL going to get a grip and bring in VAR for PL games?? Terrible mistake by officials, particularly referee Marriner in the Liverpool Burnley game. LFC keeper fouled and no one notices. Goal stood!! 🙄🙄 #LIVBUR

Well, that was a foul on @Alissonbecker. No doubt. 100%. With what happened yesterday, it looks like it isn’t Liverpool or Manchester City deciding this title race….it’s the inept referees! Some disgraceful decisions this weekend. Shame on the @fa. Utter shambles. #LFC #LIVBUR pic.twitter.com/57Rm81Ptiw

Imagine being a referee and not thinking that was a foul. #LFC

Poor decision from the referee to allow that goal to stand but the upside is #LFC have a lot of time to turn it round. Big test of character now.
