Manchester United scored just two minutes into their game with Liverpool on Sunday but Bryan Mbeumo's goal was controversial as Alexis Mac Allister was down with a head injuryArne Slot questioned the referee not stopping the game due to the head injuryThere was early drama in Liverpool's game with Manchester United after the Red Devils scored inside two minutes - while Alexis Mac Allister was down with a head injury. Bryan Mbeumo made no mistake when he was slipped in neatly after Mac Allister was left on the turf after challenging for a header.

But as Mbeumo and United celebrated, Liverpool's players fumed over the match officials' failure to stop the player after Mac Allister was left nursing a head injury. FA rules state that play should be stopped if, in the referee's opinion, "a player is seriously injured or receives a head injury".

Michael Oliver, however, did not stop play. Sky Sports commentator Peter Drury, speaking in the aftermath of the goal, outlined that Oliver was unaware of the injury, saying: "What we are getting from the match centre is that the referee didn’t see the injury and was therefore obviously not able to stop the game."
