Liverpool were left fuming after a controversial decision in their 1-1 Premier League draw with Manchester City, with Jeremy Doku's last-minute challenge not given as a penalty.

Manchester City winger Jeremy Doku has spoken out about his controversial chest-high challenge on Liverpool's Alexis Mac Allister during this month's Premier League clash, insisting it "wasn't a penalty" - but admitting "it was risky".

However, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp and many pundits believed it was "100 per cent a foul". Howard Webb, the head of referee body PGMOL, said the VAR was right not to overturn the decision.READ MORE: Arsenal could hand Liverpool major Premier League boost ahead of nightmare run "But it wasn't a penalty so I was a happy.
