December 18, 2023 15:09 - 36 minutes

If you watched the full 90 minutes of Liverpool vs Manchester United, we’re sorry to break it to you, but you will never get that time back.

Another incident which had eyebrows raised was Michael Oliver’s late flurry of yellow cards which sent Diogo Dalot off the pitch, but was this the right decision from the referee?
