This is what Jamie Carragher said about CRUCIAL penalty decision that cost Leeds United at Anfield
And Liverpool icon Jamie Carragher issued an honest verdict on the first of those penalty decisions that went against Leeds United.

“It took a deflection, Michael Oliver might not have seen that. It’s extremely harsh to give that as a penalty,” he said on Sky Sports’ commentary.
“I can’t believe that to be honest, I know the handball rule has changed but that’s actually really poor. It’s a harsh decision against Koch, in his first game.”
