It’s difficult to understand how on earth two questionable decisions can take place in the space of 10 minutes in a Liverpool game.
A contentious Leicester City goal was allowed to stand despite Kostas Tsimikas appearing to have been tripped up when tracking back to cover a counter-attack.
Shortly after, Ben Doak appeared to be denied a stonewall penalty after being brought down in the area – instead, the on-pitch official waved away the young Scot’s protests, inviting further dissent from the Anfield faithful.

Inteligência pra pressionar o Tsimikas enquanto o time praticamente inteiro do Liverpool estava no campo de ataque.
Akgün pegou a defesa quebrada e deu um passe perfeito pra McAteer marcar.
É o quinto gol do camisa 35 na temporada.#CopaDaLigaNaESPNpic.twitter.com/t3WJw2ZTnj

He needs to work on the dives. He took three steps before he realized he’d lost the ball and needed to try to trick the ref.
Honestly, if that’s a foul? Liverpool would never score a goal.
