3 reasons why Liverpool drew against Leicester City | Premier League 2018/19

#2 Referee Martin Atkinson had a shocker

Maguire was lucky to remain on the pitch

Leaving Liverpool's lament performance to one side, the Reds were undone by the referee Martin Atkinson who gave so decisions against the hosts. During the first half, Mane was tripped by the last defender, Maguire, which did not result in a red card. Instead, the officiate decided to award him with a yellow by cautioning him.

Had the English defender been sent off from the game, the Foxes goal would not have counted. In the post-match interview, the Leicester City defender said that he was lucky to be on the pitch after that tackle.

In the second half of the game, Naby Keita played a one-two with Firmino and the Guinean was brought down inside the penalty box by the right-back Pereira. The midfielder was given a nudge from the back, but the referee decided to wave it off by awarding a goal kick.

During the post-match press conference, Jurgen Klopp was totally frustrated with the no-penalty call from Martin Atkinson. Apart from these two, they were certain moments when the referee did no favour the hosts.
