Ivan Juric, manager of Southampton, feels Liverpool should have been given a penalty in the second half of their 3-1 loss at Anfield on Saturday. Will Smallbone gave the Saints an unexpected lead in stoppage time of the first half, but Darin Nunez quickly erased the lead. Mo Salah scored two penalty penalties in the second half to give Liverpool the victory, but Juric thought the first one was unfair. There didn't appear to be much in the area as Smallbone and Nunez collided, but referee Lewis Smith gave the penalty. Juric, the Southampton manager, is furious at Liverpool's penalty call.

The summer transfer window is well underway, and July 1 represents a watershed moment in the trading period. Several contracts will legally expire, causing a scramble for the autographs of high-profile free agents.
Kylian Mbappe's free transfer to Real Madrid is the most significant trade of the summer.

The list of players whose contracts expire later today includes a four-time Champions League winner, a driving force in France's current Euro 2024 challenge, and the second-highest goal scorers in Borussia Dortmund and the Netherlands' history.
This list also includes a former £72 million signing, four full France internationals, and two seasoned players who appeared in the Champions League final last season. Liverpool, however, has said goodbye to a talented (although injury-prone) tandem.
