'100 per cent' - Jurgen Klopp slams Liverpool FC penalty decision vs Man City

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was adamant his side should have been awarded a last-gasp penalty in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Manchester City at Anfield.

After getting themselves back on level terms via an Alexis Mac Allister penalty, Liverpool dominated for long periods of the second half, giving City's players and boss Pep Guardiola plenty to think about. City had led 1-0 at half-time after John Stones finished off a clever corner routine.

Liverpool, who had their tails up as a result of Mac Allister's 50th-minute equaliser, were sniffing blood as the game entered eight minutes of additional time and were convinced they should have been awarded a second penalty late on. Jeremy Doku appeared to catch Mac Allister in the chest, resulting in VAR Stuart Atwell taking a long look at the decision after on-field referee Michael Oliver waved away the home side's protests.
