"Liverpool may have some justification in questioning an early decision from the referee as Manchester United took a 1-0 lead in the first minute of today's game at Anfield. Bryan Mbeumo struck an early opener for the visitors, but if you watch the goal footage back, as per Sky Sports' video in the X post below, you can see that a clash of heads left Alexis Mac Allister down on the pitch."
"Mbeumo did well to finish from that angle, and it was a lovely final ball by Amad Diallo to set it up, but it's easy to see why some Liverpool fans will be feeling aggrieved. Alexis Mac Allister plays on for Liverpool despite clash of heads Mac Allister has been able to keep on playing for Liverpool, but the injury was clearly bad enough that he needed a bandage strapped to his head afterwards, as the picture below shows."
"The Argentina international is a key player for LFC, so they'll hope he can continue and play the full 90 minutes, though it seems far from ideal that he took that early blow to the head. For now, though, Liverpool still trail at the time of writing, so they'll hope for a bit more luck after this unfortunate early incident."
Manchester United took a 1-0 lead in the first minute at Anfield through Bryan Mbeumo. A clash of heads left Alexis Mac Allister down on the pitch as play continued and United scored. The goal followed a fine final pass from Amad Diallo and a well-taken finish by Mbeumo. Mac Allister continued playing but later required a bandage to his head. Liverpool remained behind and had a penalty appeal turned down while Cody Gakpo struck the post. The early injury to a key midfielder complicated Liverpool's response.
