Liverpool news: Dean Saunders shocked by Moussa Sissoko penalty decision in Champions League final against Tottenham
Former Liverpool striker Dean Saunders insists the Reds should NOT have been awarded a penalty in the first minute of the Champions League final against Tottenham.The Welshman sympathises with frustrated Spurs fans and insists Moussa Sissokos handball should never have been given by the referee.Tottenham Hotspur never recovered after Liverpool were given a penalty for an apparent handball by Moussa Sissoko inside the first minutegetty4
Tottenham Hotspur never recovered after Liverpool were given a penalty for an apparent handball by Moussa Sissoko inside the first minute
The game was barely 25 seconds old when Liverpool were given a spot kick, after Sissoko was adjudged to have handled in the area after Sadio Mane flicked the ball at him.Mohamed Salah duly gave the Reds the lead but, after two stunning semi-final comebacks and three weeks of build-up, the all-English affair ended up being one of the worst Champions League finals in recent memory.Not that Liverpool will mind. Their road to the final was a thrilling one and there is little doubt they are worthy champions this season.Reds fans will ultimately point to the fact Divock Origi scored a second goal in the 87th minute, while Spurs failed to find the net, as proof the victory was deserved.Mohamed Salah fired the penalty kick past Hugo Lloris to put Liverpool in front after just two minutesgetty4

But the obvious truth is that going a goal down in the opening two minutes effectively ended the contest before it had a chance to begin.The penalty row has rumbled on days after the cup was lifted, and Saunders told talkSPORT that he was shocked the spot kick was given.He said on the Final Word: Obviously I dont want to take anything away from Liverpool, I wanted them to win the game, but I cant believe anybody thinks it was a penalty.For a start, an unnatural position of your arm, this law, theyve got to bin it.You use your arms in a natural position to do different things when youre defending. Sissoko is pointing to Tripper and I can actually tell you whats come out of his mouth from the way he was pointing, hes saying, show him down the line.Hes using his arms as a way of doing that thats the way you communicate sometimes as footballers.Hes put his arm up in the box to point at Trippier, so his arm is in a natural position to do that.The ball appears to strike Moussa Sissoko’s armBT SPORT4

Number two, the ball hasnt even hit his arm! Its hit his chest and rolled onto his arm so how is that a penalty?Unless youve got blind loyalty, I dont think any Liverpool fan if they were a neutral on a Sunday morning would say thats a penalty.That was never a penalty.

Tottenham were superb against Chelsea and one of the key components of the victory was the way they marshalled playmaker Jorginho. This time out its likely their midfield is going to encounter the hustle and bustle of Torreira alongside Granit Xhaka.
