However, one incident during the game occurred where Luca Furnell-Gill, central defender for Liverpool, seems to punch the forward in question during a wrestle in the game.

Furnell-Gill also elbowed Wheatley later on in the fixture, with one fan calling for a “significant ban” for the Liverpool academy player.

United sit at the top of the tree with a huge 42 points, with Manchester City in second with just 25 – although the cross-city counterparts have played two games fewer.
