Jeremy Doku, a Manchester City winger, has addressed the chest-high challenge he made on Liverpool’s Alexis Mac Allister in their recent match, which ended in a 1-1 draw. Liverpool were disappointed that they did not receive a penalty for the incident. This action occurred after Doku’s studs made contact with Mac Allister’s chest in the penalty area. However, the referee did not call it a foul on-field and a review conducted by VAR also opted not to penalise Doku. However, Liverpool’s manager Jurgen Klopp was upset with the decision and believed that the challenge was definitely a foul, a sentiment shared by several experts.
