Jordan Henderson reveals what Danny Welbeck said about Brighton penalty after Liverpool draw

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson said that Danny Welbeck told him that the decision to give Brighton a late penalty in their draw with the Reds was wrong. Jurgen Klopp's side were 1-0 up against the Seagulls as Diogo Jota scored in the 60th minute. However, in the dying minutes of the game after referee Stuart Attwell awarded a penalty to Brighton with the use of VAR for Andy Robertson’s clip on Welbeck inside Liverpool’s area. Pascal Groß scored and earned his side a point. "It was ours. It should be three points, in my opinion. I’ve seen the replay. Who would be happy? It’s not a pen," Henderson told BT Sport after the game. "It feels like we’re standing here every week and discussing incidents. I don’t want to get into trouble, but for me it’s not a penalty. "Danny Welbeck said to me it wasn’t a penalty. There were four or five of them who felt it wasn’t a penalty. "To overturn it, it has to be clear and obvious. Is that a clear and obvious penalty, to go to the screen and overturn it. "Obviously the referees know better than us, but I thought the lads were brilliant today and deserve the three points. "In the first half there were things we could improve on, in the second half we did that. We had a couple of goals ruled off for offside. "Overall we’ve got to be positive and take the performance out of it, because the result isn’t anything else but an error in my option. "You’d rather get beat by two or three than end up like that. It feels like two points taken away from us." source - Metro / Join us on Telegram
