Sir Alex Ferguson claims Dimitar Berbatov did nothing wrong in winning Manchester United’s match-winning penalty against Liverpool today, but defender Rio Ferdinand is not convinced ref Howard Webb was right.
Returning Reds boss Kenny Dalglish disputed whether Daniel Agger’s challenge on the Bulgarian striker was a foul but his United counterpart had no doubt Berbatov was brought down after just 30 seconds at Old Trafford. ‘It was a penalty,’ Ferguson insisted.
‘Dimitar says he was definitely clipped. The replay shows he slightly touched him but the momentum is enough to bring the player down. ‘There is no reason for him to go down anyway. He is not that kind of player.’
However, Manchester United centre-back Rio Ferdinand is not so sure the penalty should have been awarded.
He tweeted: 'I've just watched the penalty incident again...I'm 50/50 whether it was or wasn't., ref gave it we scored it. It's a game of swings and roundabouts.'
