Referee slammed

Trevoh Chalobah has been left incensed by Stuart Attwell's decision not to punish Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita for a second-half tackle which left the Chelsea defender needing stitches.

Keita and Chalobah both stretched for the ball in the 58th minute, but the Blues man came off much worse in the resulting collision.

The Reds midfielder's foot caught Chalobah's inner thigh and he was left needing lengthy treatment following the incident, but VAR was not used to review Attwell's decision that it was not a foul.

And Chalobah has now shared his thoughts on the tackle – and the Chelsea man definitely does not seem happy about the outcome.

And after Salah was walking back to the halfway line to join his teammates after netting the fifth penalty for his side, the Reds forward muttered a few words which appear to have been an attempt to put his opponent off before the vital kick.
