(Video) Trippier slides in, taking Nunez out and committing a handball. Foul to Newcastle.
Watch a bizarre moment from Liverpool’s clash with Newcastle where Kieran Trippier wins a freekick for Newcastle despite taking Darwin Nunez out and committing a handball.
The Magpies will have been keen to try and stop Nunez from causing them more issues after he opened the scoring during the match and somehow they got away with a crazy decision from Anthony Taylor during the second half.
Taylor, who will be grateful he wasn’t reffing a Chelsea match as Blues fans continue to feel aggrieved by previous decisions made by him during their matches over the past few seasons, managed to determine that Newcastle should win a freekick after Trippier slid in on Nunez, committing a handball in the process as Nunez went on to land awkwardly on his shoulder as a result of the challenge.
It’s a foul KT never touched the ball with his feet plus it’s handball pic.twitter.com/wYC3UkpG5P

Luckily, it wasn’t a decision that had too much of an effect on the game as Liverpool emerged victorious and Nunez didn’t come out too badly injured.
