Minute 90+4 of the confrontation between Liverpool and MU in round 17 of the Premier League, Mohamed Salah had a situation of escaping down the left wing in the direction of attack to catch a pass from his teammate. He was caught up by Dalot and successfully stopped.

At this time, controversy broke out. The slow-motion situation shows that the ball touched Salah’s foot before going over the touchline. However, it seemed that the linesman did not observe the ball in time, so Liverpool was awarded a throw-in.

Dalot immediately reacted strongly and was given a yellow card warning by referee Michael Oliver. The Portuguese defender got angry and continued to shout loudly at the black-shirted king. Because of this behavior, he received a second yellow card within 10 seconds, meaning a red card and being sent off the field.

Former football player Jamie Carragher said that the referee was incorrect when commenting on Sky Sports: “That was a somewhat harsh decision for MU.”

beIN Sports agreed: “Dalot was right to be upset because Liverpool received a throw-in, despite the ball touching Salah first. This player was dissatisfied so he reacted continuously and was sent off.”

Fortunately, Mr. Oliver’s decision did not change the outcome of the match. Liverpool had two minutes of play ahead but failed to score a goal. The home team was forced to split points with MU and could not reclaim the top spot from Arsenal.

As for MU, they played well in this match despite facing great pressure. One point is considered a success.
