Replays revealed the City forward kicking Mac Allister in the chest as they both went for the ball in the box.

But ref Oliver waved play on and the VAR team refused to intervene as the game ended all square.

Klopp was left raging after the final whistle and confronted Oliver to probe him on the controversial call.

Manchester United legend Gary Neville said at the time on commentary: “I think he’s a lucky, lucky boy.”

Neville also added: “Doku is very lucky. I thought he was in trouble.”

City centre-back John Stones opened the scoring in the first half but a Mac Allister penalty levelled the game after the break.
