As usual in most of Liverpool's matches, refereeing problems were part of the duel they held at home against Chelsea, presenting situations in favor and against that caused some commotion in social networks, with great emphasis on a couple of penalty situations in favor of the Blues that were not sanctioned because the referee did not consider them as a foul.

In the social networks this fact tried to become more evident with a couple of images that can not be used to give a final verdict, and is that a simple frame of the play can be understood in a thousand ways, as happened in the first play near the 5th minute where Virgil Van Dijk held with some force the attacker Conor Gallagher, not existing in video a foul in a simple struggle to discomfort the opponent.

The second situation in question happened until the 73rd minute of the match, with captain Virgil Van Dijk intervening once again for this action, asking for a foot strike that was not flagged either, as there were no elements necessary to consider this a serious tackle, since the Dutchman's foot did not make contact with the intention of stopping an element that was with his back to the goal.

In the social networks a whole debate has been unleashed as a result of this pair of plays that for many would have changed the course of the match completely if the first penalty was called in the 5th minute, but fans consider that even with the marking of both penalties, Chelsea did not have the necessary soccer to beat this Liverpool that was superior from start to finish.

This team led by Jürgen Klopp has been very solid on the pitch even with a couple of alleged fouls against them, being the Reds far superior to a Chelsea team that does not know how to beat a Liverpool team that will arrive for the Carabao Cup clash at Wembley with an even stronger team with the additions of men like Wataru Endo and Mohamed Salah.
