After West Ham United had a late goal ruled out against Arsenal yesterday , a lot of Manchester City fans are furious with the officials.
And honestly, Liverpool fans probably understand that feeling better than anyone.
Under Jürgen Klopp, Liverpool lost two league titles by a single point and both seasons included refereeing decisions supporters still haven’t got over.
In 2018/19, Martin Atkinson somehow didn’t give Liverpool a blatant penalty after Naby Keïta was brought down against Leicester City at Anfield.
Liverpool drew the game and ended the season one point behind City.
Then in 2021/22 there was the Rodri handball against Everton that Paul Tierney somehow ignored.
Again, City won the game and again Liverpool finished one point short.
Liverpool fans still talk about that decision now because those moments end up deciding titles.
So while Liverpool and City supporters obviously aren’t exactly best mates, Liverpool fans definitely know what it feels like to watch massive decisions go against you in a title race.
And when leagues are decided by one point, supporters never forget those moments.
