I dont get why he isnt just finishing it.

Deserved Liverpool win, but that’s a joke of a decision
I agree with that, and have said before it's a ridiculous issue. In that situation, Jota should have the choice of playing on, or stopping and putting his hand up to ask for a penalty. If the ref decides no penalty, then he loses out. Encourages players to stay on their feet if possible, but also means that you can get a foul even without going over
Cos he’s lost his footing due to the contact?
Running at pace in this weather, next time you try to plant a foot that was clipped could easily cause you to fall

Doesn't matter if it wasn't a pen, it's criminal not to just slot that into an open goal.

crazy game though
How do you slot it in without your footing?
You guys realise it’s literally the left foot gets clipped and as he goes to plant it he can’t and falls?
Didn’t make sense at all he did all the hard work just needed to tap it in but instead he dived
It's tough - to me it's a foul, but I actually don't think there's enough clarity on what's defined as a foul. Some people seem to think it needs to be enough to take you off your feet, but that can't be right as it basically penalises players with better balance. So once he looks likely to stay upright, is it a foul? Who knows.
To me it's softer than the first pen which was clear. The second pen is certainly debatable and realistically nobody can know but Jota, but on first look I didn't think pen
