In my opinion it was a penalty and should have been a yellow for the foul on Sergio, Laporte was offside, it did hit Sergios hand (although I don't think it was intentional). However the media seem to forget we were winning so it wouldn't have changed the result.
 
Just as an aside I read today that there is a cabal of referees that have the same agent. I thought that they were all contracted to the same organisation so why do they need agents.

We need complete transparency about the affiliations of the officials. We cannot overlook the forgotten flag wavers if you remember that tonight the first goal of the night, Milner was a yard offside from the Lallana pass. Yet we had a goal chalked off yesterday for a body width offside. It is forgotten that assistant refs can do as much damage as the bloke with the whistle. The question needs asking do the refs and their linesmen share common agencies. Of course the same question needs answering about the fourth official and eventually the VAR official.
It is a can of worms without doubt.
 
Klippity sounded like one of us tonight in his post match stuff. Said Ref found out at half time he'd done a howler with the offside goal. so he proceeded to give every niggly foul against pool so west ham to make it up.

DERMOT SAYS: In March, if a ball goes in the net of an attacker's arm it will be disallowed. It's on the list for a law amendment. In defence of Martin Atkinson, he wasn't in a position to see it - next season VAR will be able to intervene. Hopefully, this will be the end of this kind of incident.

The Guardian's Barney Ronay scrawls just foretime that Liverpool shan't come unglued in the title marathon:

And catenates it this night conveying that they're executing just that:

He's always a pompously grandiose, self-important smug masturbator, but even by his specifications this is monumental.

Thanks to a thesaurus, you too can be Barney Ronay ;)

Didn’t Agüero say it did himself after watching it back?

I don’t think it really matters though because as the law stands right now, I don’t think it should have been handball even if it did touch it. It was in no way deliberate or an unnatural position.

He said he thought it hit his chest but looking at the tv it was handball

You need added smug wankerdom though.

What a phenomenal reply, your dexterity in the art of perception only carries the most superlative of great weight; such achievement not witnessed upon human eyes since Pico della Mirandola's infamous 1496 discourse Oration on the Dignity of Man.

:p
