Former England striker Wayne Rooney, speaking with Liverpool Echo, commented on the performance of the head referee in the Matchday 11 fixture of the 2025-26 Premier League season, in which Manchester City secured a convincing 3-0 victory over Liverpool.
The Van Dijk goal should have stood. I don't think Andy Robertson delayed Donnarumma diving. The City keeper can see the ball the whole way, so I think that was the wrong decision.
