The decision to give Liverpool a late penalty in their 2-2 away draw against Manchester United did not convince Gary Neville.

Referee Anthony Taylor signaled for a penalty when Aaron Wan-Bissaka challenged Harvey Elliott, a substitute for Liverpool, with United leading 2-1.

After Mohamed Salah converted the penalty, Liverpool gained what might prove to be a crucial point in the Premier League title fight.

The former United defender told Jamie Carragher in video footage from Sky Sports that he didn’t think a penalty should have been handed for the incident. 

Social media users’ opinions on the incident were mixed; although some people agreed with Neville that the punishment shouldn’t have been imposed, others were certain that it was the right choice.Neville was echoed by a United fan who posted on X, “THIS IS NOT A PENALTY VAR IS USELESS.”

Another United fan, meanwhile, asserted that Elliott dove. What was the penalty for, they wrote? Elliott dove before AWB made contact with him. He wasn’t even touched by AWB in actuality. VAR has no value.

Another United supporter concurred, writing: “He was going down even before AWB touched him.” Laugh’.

Wan-Bissaka, on the other hand, “shouldn’t be making that challenge in the box,” according to a United supporter.

Another said, “I’m a united fan, and that’s a correct pen call on us,” confirming that the penalty was the right call.

Luis Diaz had put Liverpool ahead, but Bruno Fernandes had given United an equalizer.

United took the lead through a goal from Kobbie Mainoo, but Salah’s penalty made sure Liverpool ended the match with a point.

Liverpool is now second in the Premier League, trailing champions Arsenal on goal differential, as a result of this outcome.

United, on the other hand, has collected 49 points from their first 31 games to stand in sixth position.
