A FEW Liverpool fans I’ve spoken to feel Howard Webb’s decision to award Manchester United a penalty on Saturday might have cost them the title.
It hasn’t. That’s not the reason United are closing in on their 18th title.
Yes, it was a terrible decision and gave them a foothold in the game.
But the fact that they went on to score four goals after that is more a pointer to why they are edging Liverpool out.
After all, they had Rooney, Ronaldo, Tevez and Berbatov on the field. They would have scored to launch their comeback eventually, penalty or not.
And it was the type of performance that suggests they have come out of their dodgy spell and are flying again.
Liverpool for their part, were a bit scatty at Hull.
