Ex-referee Dermot Gallagher backs VAR's decision to award Liverpool a late spot-kick against Man United... as former Reds defender Stephen Warnock slams fans for arguing against the 'stonewall penalty'

Ex-Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher has given his verdict on the decision to award Liverpool a late penalty against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

With the Red Devils leading going into the last 10 minutes, Anthony Taylor pointed to the penalty spot after Harvey Elliott went down under a challenge from Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

Mo Salah stepped up to convert his penalty and rescue a point for Liverpool in the Premier League title race.

However, with slow-motion footage emerging since the match, some Man United fans were convinced that a penalty should not have been awarded.
