Were Liverpool robbed in their Premier League match against Stoke?
September 21, 2008
In their Premier League match against Stoke, Liverpool appeared to have made the perfect start when Steven Gerrard sent the ball into the back of the net from a free kick. The players were celebrating before finding that the goal had been disallowed. It was possibly for Dirk Kuyt being offside.
The commentator for this game said it was a bad decision, Rafa Benitez was not impressed and even Stoke manager Tony Pulis admitted his side was fortunate to escape “with a decision that went our way at Anfield”.
Just why was the goal disallowed, we do not know for sure. People that saw the play said Kuyt was not offside.
The result is that Liverpool ended up only getting a draw from the match. They now have dropped from top spot on the Premier League. Hopefully at the end of the season it will not come down to a two point margin that costs Liverpool the title.
What do you think about the decision? Were Liverpool robbed?
