    Arsenal fans have been left incensed on social media after Michael Oliver decided against booking Rasmus Hojlund for kicking the ball away in Manchester United’s clash with Liverpool.

    The moment in question happened in the 36th minute of what was an entertaining first half between United and top-of-the-table Liverpool at Anfield.

    After Manuel Ugarte was pulled up for a foul on Luis Dias, Hojlund could be seen poking the ball away from Virgil van Dijk, who appeared to be readying himself for a quick free-kick on Merseyside.

    But referee Oliver overlooked Hojlund display of petulance, with the young United striker going unpunished.

    Arsenal supporters watching the game were immediately taken back to their trip to Manchester City back in September, when the same official showed Trossard a second yellow card for a similar action.
