The biggest mistake was the ref said to the linesman that he didn't know that Lovren touched the ball yet gave the penalty anyway after speaking to the fourth official. I'm not sure how the ref didn't see the touch from Lovren but thankfully the 4th official saw it. It was an identicial one to Liverpools first goal so it was good we got the decision too.
I thinking the REF did see the Lovren pass, it was the lino that said he couldn’t be sure. I don’t believe the 4th official is allowed any opinion other than managing the substitutions and the extra time.
