After the 1:1 draw in the Premier League hit against Manchester City, Liverpool FC are mourning the missed victory. Especially because there was no penalty in the eighth minute of stoppage time after an alleged foul on Alexis Mac Allister. Klopp shook his head and found drastic words: "If the ball isn't there, he kills it."

The big upset shortly before the end: Manchester City whirlwind Jeremy Doku easily caught the ball in a duel with Mac Allister, but also the Liverpool midfielder's chest. However, referee Michael Oliver did not blow his whistle and the VAR also intervened.

To the great annoyance of Jürgen Klopp. "Everywhere else on the pitch it's one hundred percent a foul and a yellow card," the German analyzed the controversial scene on Sky Sports. Doku had "hit the ball. But he could only hit it because his foot was so high. If the ball isn't there, he kills it."

Klopp was adamant: "For all footballers on the planet, that's a penalty."

Thrilling three-way battle for the title
After the thrilling 1-1 draw in the top match, the Premier League title fight remains extremely exciting. Arsenal are currently top of the table, followed by Liverpool FC in second place on equal points. Manchester City are just one point behind in third.
