Decisions like that are when referees should look at the monitor, grow a backbone and stick with their on-field decision. Very, very harsh. That’s not a free kick anywhere else on the pitch.

It seems there has been a few dubious decisions given today.

A Taylor what’s he doing there.
No foul on the keeper ,tells him to get up several times then blows the whistle before Gakpo just taps it in .
Absolute plonker

As well as letting go the potential ankle breaker on Mac Alister

I can assure you that Mr Taylor made sure the big team got all the decisions today. Awful ref.

It was a foul. The ref signalled it and waved to carry on but the keeper was hurt so needed treatment.

That’s not a foul. Gakpo didn’t touch him he just landed badly.It was a foul. The ref signalled it and waved to carry on but the keeper was hurt so needed treatment.
No he didn’t signal it so he didn’t think it was a foul.
He clearly told the keeper to get up off the floor several times and ran away to the halfway line.
He only blew the whistle when Gakpo was going to score.
He then ran back and made the keeper go down to get the phisio on who wasn’t even ready.
Gakpo should have put the ball in the net then made the ref explain his actions.
But knowing Taylor probably would have booked Gakpo.

No doubt when you insist on the VAR transcript being released it will make sense

When the ref blew his whistle, and started running at keeper, I suspect he might have realised "Ohhh dear, I've made a mistake stopping play here". Once he got to keeper, I think he then somehow persuaded the keeper (or himself) to get physio on, claim an injury and save referees bacon. The keeper looked confused, as did physios.
When he put ball to ground, there was nothing that made it look like keeper was injured. He just rolled it on ground as if a free kick had to be taken, then started to pull up his socks before kicking it.

If that’s classed as a foul the game is finished.!
It was just very poor from Taylor.
He realised he had made a error and blew the whistle just as Gakpo was about to kick it, you could see Gakpos reaction.
If Gakpo had put the ball in the net it would then involve VAR that would have been interesting!

Another Saturday of Premier League football and the main talking points are poor refereeing performances, rather than actual football.
Best league in the world.

Think you can say the game is finished…
Tbh when I saw it live I thought wth is the keeper doing???
Only after I read the Ref had signalled a foul.
Anyway it was the low point of a very poor refereeing display (which seemed to favour Liverpool all afternoon)

Ironic that earlier in the season Liverpool fans who complained about referees were met with violin emojis etc.Another Saturday of Premier League football and the main talking points are poor refereeing performances, rather than actual football.
Best league in the world.
Now it’s affecting a lot more clubs .
We told you so.

I would love to hear the Keepers account of it.
As long as he’s under oath.
Not a single premier league keeper would do that unless the ref has told them it's a free kick

He didn’t blow the whistle.
Never went near him.
Just waived at him several times to get up.
Keeper might have thought he gave a free kick but I can’t see anywhere that he did.
There was no free kick awarded
