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.

Jones was furious with the performance of the referee in his side's 1-0 defeat against the Foxes at The Valley, describing the decision to disallow what would have been a Lloyd Jones equaliser as a "fairytale". And after going out of the EFL Cup to Cambridge, Jones said it was important to put in an improved performance against Queens Park Rangers on Saturday.

I was upset. As a penalty-taker, you have your own routines, your own things that you do. It upset me because the referee didn't apologise. That is what triggered me in that moment, but that's not the excuse for missing the penalty. I had a very bad hit on the ball. I put my foot too under the ball and that's why it ended up going over the bar.
