The match didnt really live up to its billing, but they rarely do, it still had its moments and you cant really complain about the result.
Fernandinho is a really hot and cold player. There are periods when hes unplayable and periods where hes just an idiot.
He probably should have been sent off at least twice today not least of which for a forearm into Mane's throat.
As for the penalty....I havent dissected it frame by frame or anything, but wow was that tight. That was a tight call. If I'm the ref I probably have to award that.
I cant see any contact with the ball, but really, Sane was out of control and running out of room, VVD's timing and decisions are usually better than that, but there was really no need to make that tackle.
Mahrez calling off Jesus and skying it though? Beautiful stuff.
Again, fair result, there wasnt a lot in that match but everyone keeps pace and we march on.
