Southampton boss fumes over controversial Liverpool penalty decision

Southampton manager Ivan Juric believes Liverpool were wrongly awarded a penalty in the second half of their 3-1 defeat at Anfield on Saturday. 

The Saints took a surprise lead through Will Smallbone in first-half stoppage time, but Darin Nunez cancelled it out shortly after the interval.

Liverpool went on to win the game after Mo Salah converted two spot kicks in the second half, but Juric felt the first one was unjustified.

Referee Lewis Smith awarded the penalty after Smallbone collided with Nunez in the box, although there didn’t seem to be much in it.
