Liverpool fans left fuming by Clattenburg's controversial comments on AC Milan crowd, says Ansser Sadiq

Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk, and Dominik Szoboszlai found the back of the net to equalize after Christian Pulisic's early goal.

“I think he (the referee) needs to calm the crowd down, the crowd is against him... I think he just needs to give one or two small fouls to get the judgment back,” Clattenburg said. 

However, many fans were aghast at the suggestion of favorable decisions to quieten the home crowd.

“It’s mental, I couldn’t believe it when he said that,” wrote one on X, formerly Twitter.

“Clattenburg telling the ref to give Milan small fouls to appease the crowd, what an outrageous thing to say,” another said.
