Which? The blatant handball or Dzeko being wiped out by the goalkeeper, despite being easily onside. You can scratch one off in favour of the Mane decision but they're both blatant. Liverpool are extremely fortunate not to be out and not to have been down to 9 men. You could dish out a red for the hand, you could dish out a red for the keeper at the Ref's discretion. It's up there as one of the worst refereeing performances since that Chelsea-Barca game.
The way I've got it
3x Penalties to Roma, Clear as day, 1 awarded. - Red card for Alex-Arnold (Questionable Deliberate Handball) Red card for Karius (Ref's discretion, preventing a goalscoring opportunity)
1x Penalty to Liverpool, Clear as day, none awarded - Red card for Florenzi (Easy card all day)
All from someone that's all too happy to root for the English team in Europe.
Liverpool just absolutely bottled that second half, they made the assumption it was job done and they were extremely lucky to come away with that at all. I mean Liverpool could've literally kept scoring, the attack is just that good.
