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.

With the announcement that captain and now-famous forward Iago Aspas would be staying with the team, Celta Vigo handed their supporters perhaps the greatest Christmas gift they could have asked for.
