In a very complicated match corresponding to the 15th matchday of the Premier League, Liverpool visited Sheffield United with several changes in the starting lineup, with the biggest surprise being the absence of Uruguayan striker Darwin Nunez, who was replaced by Dutchman Cody Gakpo.
Despite several attempts Liverpool could not open the scoreboard in the first 30 minutes of the game but there was a play that caused dread in the German coach Jurgen Klopp since the first minutes of the game the Argentine Alexis Mac Allister received a hard foul by the Dutch midfielder Gustavo Hamer which could have caused him an important injury.
The South American had to leave the field to be treated by the medical staff. After a long overhaul and treatment on one of his knees, he was able to return to the pitch. However, the VAR did a silent review of this play to determine if it was a red card, but in the end Simon Hooper declined to even show him a yellow card in a controversial decision again against Liverpool.
The referee is still in the spotlight because a few days ago he had a disastrous performance in the game between Manchester City and Tottenham. In addition to the Mac Allister challenge, there was a caution on Wataru Endo for a less harsh challenge than the one on Alexis Mac Allister and Hooper cautioned him.
