Liverpool supporters were left furious again on Saturday after a crucial refereeing decision went against them in their Premier League clash with Burnley — with many convinced their team was denied what *should have been a clear second penalty.

The Reds dominated much of the game at Anfield, carving out numerous chances and applying relentless pressure on Burnley’s defence. They even had an earlier penalty awarded — though Dominik Szoboszlai saw his spot-kick crash off the crossbar.

But it was a late incident in the box that really infuriated fans. Liverpool felt that a strong contact on one of their attackers should have resulted in a second spot-kick, yet the referee waved away their appeals and play continued. This sparked a huge backlash on social media from supporters, who accused the officials of inconsistency and bias, claiming the challenge deserved a penalty — especially given Liverpool’s dominance throughout the contest.

Reactions on X (formerly Twitter), Facebook and fan forums included phrases like “robbed!” and “disgusting officiating”, with many supporters convinced the decision directly cost their side valuable points in the Premier League race.

Despite the frustration, Liverpool couldn’t find a late winner and had to settle for a 1–1 draw — another result that will leave fans and pundits alike questioning whether key decisions are being consistently applied this season.
