I've seen a few Salah dives this season, and play acting a foul to try get a player sent off is almost just as bad.

This is the foul that lead to Liverpool's game winning goal. 

They've had multiple decisions like this and offside goals throughout the season. Like other teams but it's highlighted a lot when it's a team challenging for the league.

Liverpool have scored a few offside goals but all except one of them came in games where we were already winning and usually by a margin or 2 or more goals. The only prominent offside goal I can recall was Keita's against Southampton, and even then, the offside happened a good 30 seconds or so before the goal was scored, with Southampton having had multiple opportunities to clear the ball out at that point. You talk about the foul on Fabinho and then post a video starting when he's going down already, insightful stuff. I remember similar videos being made about Salah's "dive" against Cardiff, which was a very clear penalty.

Nothing even remotely as outrageous as City's first goal against Watford, which has me to this day questioning the FA's integrity, never mind the ghost penalties they got in those 1-0 victories, or the 3 sendings offs they had ignored today, or the pathetic FA Cup quarter-final against Swansea. They were riding their "luck" even in the Champions League until VAR decided to do something about it.

That's weird I put 2 links in the comments I don't know why one didn't show.
