Kieran Trippier foul leads to Nunez injury

Watch a bizarre moment from Liverpool’s clash with Newcastle where Kieran Trippier wins a free kick for Newcastle despite taking Darwin Nunez off and committing a handball.

The Magpies will have been itching to try and prevent Nunez from causing them any more trouble after he opened the scoring during the match and somehow got away with a crazy decision by Anthony Taylor during the second half.

Taylor, who will be grateful not to have refereed a Chelsea match as Blues fans continue to be aggrieved by previous decisions he made during his games in recent seasons, managed to determine that Newcastle should earn a free kick after Trippier slid into Nunez, committing a handball in the process when Nunez landed awkwardly on his shoulder as a result of the challenge.

Luckily, it was not a decision that influenced the game too much, since Liverpool emerged victorious and Núñez was not injured too much.
