Ally McCoist was left stunned that Fenerbahce were not awarded a penalty for a foul on Mason Greenwood. The English attacker was played through on goal midway through the first half against Liverpool, but a firm shove from Kostas Tsimikas knocked him off balance and prevented him from shooting.
Claims for a penalty from Greenwood and the home support were waved away with VAR also failing to review the incident. Upon watching replays of the potential foul, McCoist was adamant that a penalty should have been given.
He said on TNT Sports: "It's a penalty, it's two hands, not even one hand. That prevents him for me getting a shot on goal. Both hands. I think it's a penalty, I really do. It's a shame because it's a great ball and an exquisite touch."
"I think so (got away with one), I really think so. He pushes him both hands when he's in the process of having an attempt on goal just because it doesn't look like it, doesn't make it not a penalty."
Moments later, Trey Nyoni put Liverpool in front with a deflected effort which furthered angered Fenerbahce. However, Greenwood equalised moments later with his free-kick wrong-footing Alisson after a touch from a Liverpool player.
The set-piece from Greenwood appeared to be going wide but replays showed that a stray touch from Jeremy Jacquet changed the trajectory of the ball which left Alisson fuming.
Analysing the goal, McCoist added: "He [Greenwood] gets a break doesn't he? I think the goalkeeper will not be too happy with his wall.
"Does somebody turn their back on it? It's the perfect answer. It's Jacquet and he's livid, does he turn his back? He certainly does, you've got to face it. The goalkeeper is livid, absolutely livid and with justification as well. He's (Jacquet) is side on for someone who has had a good start to the season."
