- Dias effort ruled out for foul on Liverpool’s Alisson
- Alexander-Arnold later equalised in 1-1 draw
Pep Guardiola questioned the disallowing of Rúben Dias’s goal that would have given Manchester City a 2-0 lead over Liverpool by referring to the controversial “Newcastle-Arsenal action” when a Joelinton shove on Gabriel was allowed before Anthony Gordon’s winner at the start of this month.
Dias’s 67th-minute attempt featured a similar moment when Manuel Akanji rose to challenge Alisson, who dropped the ball and the Portuguese put it into the net only to see the goal ruled out by the referee, Chris Kavanagh, with no intervention by the VAR official.
