Dermot Gallagher disagreed with Chris Wilder’s assessment that Darwin Nunez had illegally tackled Jayden Bogle during Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Sheffield United.
The Uruguayan had assisted Dominik Szoboszlai’s lead-doubling goal at Bramall Lane immediately after, securing the Reds their 10th league win of the season.
The former official adjudged the striker to have won the ball first before taking out the man, insisting: “He’s won the ball, he’s quite clearly won the ball. He gets all of the ball, he gets lots of ball, he gets the ball before he makes contact with Bogle.”
Matter resolved. A clean (but difficult) win for Jurgen Klopp’s men.

So he gets the ball, all the ball without any danger to his opponent and it’s a foul? No wonder modern football is in such a state.
It wasn’t given as a fould and Nunez went on to set up the 2nd goal from that tackle.
They got what they deserved running around like maniacs no wonder they are bottom.
The Blades were constantly fouling. For one corner, the defender had both arms around Nunez who couldn’t move.
Not us, never us, never our fault. Same owd skipdippers
Reds to win the league
