Jeremy Doku avoided conceding a late penalty after a high tackle on Alexis Mac Allister was deemed 'played in a reasonable position' by VAR.
Into the eighth minute of added time, Doku's high tackle caught Mac Allister in the chest, with pundits wary of whether the Manchester City winger would end up in trouble.
The clash ended in a 1-1 draw with title-chargers Arsenal finishing the weekend at the top of the table.
John Stones opened the scoring before a second-half penalty through Argentine midfielder Mac Allister allowed Liverpool a route back into the match.
