“This is cruel, inhumane and barbaric. How was he not given a red Card for this 😱😱A huge, huge moment in the title race. Doku is a lucky man! 🤯

As the final whistle blew, neither Liverpool nor Manchester City supporters were left satisfied with the contentious decisions made during their Premier League clash.

The thrilling encounter between the two footballing giants ended in a gripping 1-1 draw at Anfield, leaving the Premier League title race finely poised. The match was characterized by moments of drama and controversy that kept fans on the edge of their seats until the very end.

Manchester City took the lead midway through the game, with John Stones capitalizing on a well-executed corner routine, stabbing the ball home at the near post after Nathan Ake created space for him. However, Liverpool swiftly responded, equalizing just five minutes later.

The Reds dominated the second half, but City threatened to snatch victory when substitute Jeremy Doku struck the post late in the game. Kevin De Bruyne’s frustration upon being substituted typified City’s nervousness in the second half.

Despite Liverpool’s belief that they should have been awarded another penalty deep into injury time, controversy ensued when Doku’s high foot caught Alexis Mac Allister in the rib cage. Referee Michael Oliver initially appeared poised to award a penalty following a VAR check but ultimately allowed play to continue, much to the disbelief of both sets of supporters.

Rarely do fans of City and Liverpool find common ground, but on this occasion, neither could accept the decision regarding Doku’s challenge. Supporters expressed their frustration on social media, with some labeling it a “shocking call” and questioning Doku’s actions.

The draw means that Arsenal maintains its position at the top of the standings, level on points with Liverpool and slightly ahead of City. With the title race heating up, every point becomes crucial, and the outcome of this match could have significant implications for the remainder of the season.
