Liverpool beat Crystal Palace and remained top of the league but it seems that much of the post-match chat from rival fans will be centred around Virgil van Dijk.
Our captain held the arm of Marc Guehi in our box and as the opposition captain fell to the floor, he appealed for a penalty.

The onfield decision from Simon Hooper was no foul and David Coote as VAR agreed, with the Premier League Match Centre posting on X:
‘The referee’s call of no penalty for the challenge by van Dijk on Guéhi is checked and confirmed by VAR – deeming that the challenge was not sustained holding and had no impact on the play.’

Appeals weren’t too big on the pitch but this will no doubt be used as a stick to beat us with throughout the rest of the weekend.
