That's irrelevant. The question is, was there enough contact for Jota to fall to the floor like he did? If the answer is no (which it is), then Jota dived and cheated to win a penalty.

That was back to a few seasons ago where forwards thought they were entitled to go down if they feel any contact.
I thought this season it was meaningful contact, or words to that effect.

Irrespective of Jota's dive, Liverpool deserved to win.

Was the contact enough to trip Jota or make him fall over? Absolutely no chance, therefore Jota has dived and has cheated therefore he's a horrible cheating scumbag. You can defend him all you like but he's cheated to win the penalty.
How am I making the sport like it is now you utter clown.
I have no influence in the game

Never mind then that the scoreline reflects the game....
The slightest of touches, he carried on, then dived. The touch didn't knock him over, it was an afterthought. A late one at that.
That isn't how the game works.

Loving how wound up people are getting over this.

The only question is “was the contact a foul?” Anything after the contact is irrelevant.

Funny how nobody is wound up by Taylor being atrocious in the first half and ignoring Joelinton basically all game?!

Listening to the commentary, how EH was able to sub Jolinton they didn't know....the ref should have sorted that ages ago they thought

No it doesn't. Liverpool should have won about 8-2 at the very least. The score line makes it look a lot closer than it actually was. Liverpool should've been out of sight by halftime.

I dont disagree they shoudl have scored more, but it was a cracking game and the correct team won. What an advert for the PL
The touch doesn’t have to knock him over straight away

The touch didn't knock him over at all, let alone straight away. He felt a touch and dived/cheated. Not every contact is a foul and a penalty. Jota dived and cheated because the contact wasn't enough to make him fall over.
According to the ref and VAR he didn’t dive or cheat
True, but it is meant to be in the same moment or movement. He doesn't look remotely impacted by it though, unlike Diaz in the first half which was also slightly delayed but was linked to the contact. Jota felt it, wasn't impacted, thought about it, threw himself down.

Yes I would like to know why he didn’t book him for that blatant pull back.
The Jota pen for me is strange why didn’t he just score?
The keeper gets him and maybe the speed he’s going brings him down but it just looked so late going down.
Great second half from reds but we need a goalscorer.
Imagine how many Kane would score in this Liverpool team.
