Should Liverpool have been given a penalty for Jeremy Doku's chest-high 'karate kick' on Alexis Mac Allister? Ian Ladyman and Chris Sutton DISAGREE on It's All Kicking Off

It could yet prove to be a pivotal moment in a tight and tense Premier League title race - should Liverpool have been awarded a last-gasp penalty in Sunday's draw with rivals Manchester City?

In the act of clearing a late corner, the raised leg of City's Jeremy Doku hit the chest of Liverpool's Alexis Mac Allister, who duly went down.

Referee Michael Oliver waved away vociferous Liverpool appeals and VAR agreed with his on-field decision in the dying seconds of an absorbing contest.

Afterwards, as fans described Doku's challenge as a 'karate kick', Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp claimed 'it's a penalty for all football people on the planet', while Mac Allister insisted it was a 'clear penalty'.
