Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister was the cause of controversy in his side's 1-1 draw against Manchester City for a late challenge with Jeremy Doku, which is considered a "clear penalty" by the Argentine.

Arsenal remained top of the Premier League after a titanic tussle between Liverpool and Manchester City ended 1-1 at Anfield on Sunday.
Liverpool were screaming for a second penalty deep into eight minutes of added time when Doku's high foot caught Mac Allister. But neither referee Michael Oliver or VAR were interested to leave the title race tantalisingly poised.
"It was 100 per cent a penalty. They will find an explanation. It was 100% a foul in all areas of the pitch and probably a yellow card," Jurgen Klopp said when asked.
Alexis Mac Allister, who played a key role in the match and specifically in this late challenge, also agreed with his coach. "I think it's a clear penalty, I cannot say much more I think the referee did a good job throughout the game but I think he made a mistake in the last decision," he explained.
