Crazy decision.
Why did Christensen head the ball out of Mendy's hands though?
The ball did deflect off his thigh.. but the movement he made with the arm was deliberate.. probably after the contact.. not sure what the rules are anymore..
But that was going in had it not struck the hand so old school rules mean pen .. red means it has to be deliberate handball.. who knows

Only applies to 'accidental' fouls that deny a goal scoring opportunity apparently.
The handball has been deemed 'on purpose'
Its clearly a penalty and red card
The ball still would have gone in. It hits the knee but is still flying in if his hand isn't in the way
Had to be a red as soon as a foul was given. Easiest refereeing decision all weekend. It was deliberate handball and denying of a goalscoring opportunity. Same as David Luiz last year.
Salah pen
1-1
1-1
Isn’t that denying a clear goal scoring opportunity?
This ref never has any control.
Penalty for sure... Red card too harsg
Yeah I think the red is harsh too. Maybe there's no flexibility in the rule?
It looked like it hit him somewhere else then went up into his arm. It's probably still a penalty but I'd be quite aggrieved if it led to a red for my team's player too.
He didn't.
Big man Lukaku
Chelsea are such a bunch of sore losing cnuts. Feck off
Sheesh Taylor is a Liverpool supporter. Only booking Chelsea
Chelsea had been so comfortable too, Mendy should have dealt with it earlier in the move.
Presume because it stopped the ball going in the net.
It's a pen but I have a lot of sympathy and for me it's not a red card. He was trying to knee it out first and the use of the arm I feel was uncontrolled instinct rather than actively trying to cheat. I feel a yellow would have been fair there.
That was mad yeah
Feck off Lukaku 
I was thinking to myself, nice use of VAR, quick decision and then he gives a red Feck this league.
Feck this league.Holy shit, he's definitely a Liverpool fan Henderson booted off again and got feck all, again.
Henderson booted off again and got feck all, again.I mean yeah, the thing is the ball is going in. Red also tough because he has absolutely no intention to play with the arm.
I mean I understand both decisions he took. Very harsh for the Chelsea guy who didn't intend to stop the ball but stuff happens
Yep. It’s never a penalty let alone a red card.
Gonna be more reds in this game
Idiot Chelsea players. Do they really think they’ll get Taylor to rethink the red card?
Yeah, that's how I saw that too. He made the movement to push the ball.
For it to be a pen it has to be intentional, and if it’s intentional then it stops a goal so it’s a red card.
Right decision according to the rules but I do think it’s harsh. There’s no way it’s intentional, only an idiot like Suarez does that.

It came off his knee
Chelsea losing their heads.
Double jepordy is only for intentional actions though. 100% hand ball but I feel James was just instinctively reacting rather than trying to be sly. You can see he tried to use his knee first and it rolled off it, that's why I feel it's a harsh red.
Was it someone else?
Chelsea influencing the ref again, disgraceful for it. Especially azpiculeta.
Normal at Anfield. They get everything every single time.
Need to hope this stays 1-1 now
But he moved the ball away with his arm, he didn't just stand still
only if intentional. It hit his thigh and deflected up onto his hand.. ridiculous call, I think
Chelsea can remove Lukaku and bring a defender and there will be no difference
