Overview
- At Anfield on Saturday, Daniel Muñoz scored over injured goalkeeper Freddie Woodman, and soon after a Liverpool fan hit the Crystal Palace defender with a thrown ball.
- Former PGMOL chief Keith Hackett said the referee should have reported the flashpoint and that Anfield’s cameras can identify the spectator who threw the ball.
- Hackett backed Liverpool manager Arne Slot’s post-match criticism of referee Andy Madley and said Slot should not face punishment for his comments.
- Football Insider reports Liverpool have no plans to remove Slot as manager despite the fallout from the incident.
- Hackett said the Premier League could ask Liverpool for formal observations, and any review would likely focus on the referee’s notes and stadium footage to decide if the spectator is sanctioned.
