Everyone is saying the same thing about Liverpool’s penalty against Everton

We’ve been here before, haven’t we?

Merseyside rivals Liverpool and Everton met for the second time in the space of a month, this time in the FA Cup after a 1-1 draw in the league between the two at the start of December.

In the first encounter the Reds dominated proceedings but were pegged back by Wayne Rooney’s penalty following Dejan Lovren’s rather soft foul on Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

So what would happen tonight?

Well, for Liverpool fans anyway, it was a sense of retribution.

The Reds were awarded a dubious spotkick of their own at exactly the same end of the ground when Adam Lallana appeared to be hauled down by Mason Holgate.

Do you think that Holgate's challenge on Lallana warranted a penalty?

James Milner converted from 12 yards to give the hosts the lead at half time – and social media felt it was a case of ‘déjà vu’:

So soft penalty for Liverpool.
To me, that is called compensation for this one that was awarded to Everton https://t.co/GEQl5fttGB

It's more of a penalty than the one on Calvert Lewin last month

Calvert-Lewin must agree with tonight’s penalty award.

Very soft penalty, but only as much as the one against Lovren was: you put your arms up, you give the referee a decision to make. Good advantage played by the referee too.
