An ex West Ham player was involved in a truly farcical penalty decision for Liverpool vs Fulham at Anfield last night.

West Ham allowed Issa Diop to join Fulham in the summer, and the 6ft 4in centre-back was involved in a shocking penalty decision that went the way of Liverpool last night.

Despite his struggles for the Hammers, Diop has actually made a big impression with Fulham, and has proven to be a steal for them on the most part for just £15 million.

The 26-year-old always had the ability but his poor concentration levels and lack of consistency really held him back at the London Stadium.

I still believe he will one day make a top class centre-back. Diop put in a brilliant performance against Liverpool last night but ended up being the person who lost his side the game – really unfairly so…

Liverpool were headed an unbelievably soft penalty in the 39th minute last night, after a blatant dive from Darwin Nunez – one that was dispatched by Mo Salah.

Marco Silva described the blatant dive from Nunez as ’embarrassing’ (Independent). And he’s right, it really was pathetic. Judge for yourself how bad it was from the Uruguayan:

I feel really sorry for Issa Diop there. He had a great game for Fulham by all accounts against Liverpool, but ended up being the one who cost his side the game.

Some of the decisions given by Premier League officials this season have actually been embarrassingly bad.

Surely it’s time that we start importing the very best officials from abroad.

However, whether that would change anything with the powers that be at the top of the Premier League tree running things is debatable in all fairness.

Diop and the Fulham fans must have been gutted last night. It was a stinking decision and one that we seem to be seeing far too regularly.
