Pundits hinted Mohamed Salah went down too easy to win penalty against Brighton
| ||||||
Liverpool Premier League win over Brighton on Saturday saw Salah being brought down in the penalty area by Brighton defender Pascal Gross after which the Egyptian whipped in the spot-kick to give the Reds a narrow 1-0 victory.
During the game Brighton defender Gross was caught having a tug on Salah's shirt before the Egyptian went down.
But sport analyst Keys and Gray commenting on the incident were uncertain if the challenge on Salah really worths a penalty.
Keys, analysing on beIN SPORTS, said: "It was an emphatic penalty by Salah after another 'foul' from Salah."
Keys being unable to put it straight was asked by his right-hand man Gray.
"Not happy? Do you think he made the most of it?"
Keys replied: "I think he's getting into a habit of making the most out of challenges."
Grays said: "I think in any big game coming up now, certain coaches may remind officials that he is going to ground easily - but there was a tug on his shirt."
"There was, in fairness, but enough to take him down in the manner he collapsed? I don't know," Keys added.
The exchange between the pair caused Liverpool fans fuming at beIN SPORTS on Twitter.
Message to all premier league defenders: He won’t go down if you don’t tug his shirt/pull his arm/kick his legs. Kane or Alli on the other hand...— 〽️ (@mdy3r) January 12, 2019
