VIDEO: How could this not be a red card? Mané tested his pins on Dúbravka

Newcastle are on the rise and on Saturday they wanted to confirm that on their home pitch against Liverpool, who are fighting for the league title. The favourite was obvious, but at least the blue side of Manchester hoped the bookies’ predictions would not come true. It just did. However, there is a lot of talk that the unit from the city of The Beatles should not have finished in full numbers.

The Premier League is slowly coming to an end and tensions are rising. Will Manchester City win the title or will Liverpool be able to overtake them? We’ll find out in four rounds. However, at least until Saturday night, it is Liverpool who have taken the lead in the league.

Jürgen Klopp’s charges played a match at St. James’ Park, where they were welcomed at home by Newcastle, who are having a great spring. From a team that until relatively recently was struggling to stay up, is now a team in the top half of the table.

Liverpool were the favourites and actually won the game 1: 0. The only goal of the match was scored by Naby Keita in the 19th minute.

The Reds were clearly better in the match, they had a complete advantage in the game and shooting, which was also evident in the statistics.

However, one other decision could have changed the course of the match. Sadio Mané tested his pins on the leg of Martin Dúbravka, the Newcastle goalkeeper, who gave a great performance.

The Liverpool star saw only a yellow card for his roughness. However, given the rules, a red card would not have been out of place, as Mané undoubtedly showed dangerous play and could have injured his opponent.

The situation happened in the 69th minute. In the same minute, Mané went off the pitch when Mohamed Salah replaced him on the pitch.
