October 5th, Chelsea beat Liverpool 2-1 in this round. Garnacho fell to the ground in the penalty area in the first half and did not receive a penalty kick, which sparked heated discussion. Sky Sports commentator Gary Neville believes that the referee's decision not to make a point is correct.

Neville said: "Anthony Taylor is in a very good position and he has been watching the game, it's not a penalty.

" He did a good job and although there were some pushes, it definitely didn't reach the foul. In fact, he (Ganacho) ended up deliberately throwing himself to the ground. And the referee was observing the game, and he clearly saw the event.

"I know the referee makes mistakes sometimes, but Maresca needs to calm down and relax. I don't know who is blowing in his ear and saying it's a penalty."
