Man Utd fans fume as new footage emerges of Wan-Bissaka’s challenge on Elliott and claim Liverpool ace dived for penalty
FANS were left fuming at the decision of Liverpool being handed a late penalty against Manchester United after new footage emerged.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka committed a foul on Harvey Elliott in the penalty area during the 84th minute, leading to Jurgen Klopp's side earning a crucial draw thanks to Mo Salah converting the resulting penalty kick.
Luis Diaz put Jurgen Klopp's side in front at Old Trafford, but Bruno Fernandes equalised for United after a mistake from Jarell Quansah.
Kobbie Mainoo then scored a stunning goal to give United the lead in the 67th minute.
However, controversy arose when Harvey Elliott appeared to be fouled by Aaron Wan-Bissaka in the box, resulting in a penalty.
Fans have since questioned the decision after slow-motion footage showed Wan-Bissaka committing to the challenge before Elliott kicked the ball away and hooked his foot under the defender's leg.
