It could have been a red but I'm not complaining

Especially since it was nearly identical to VVD's challenge in the Napoli match.

Lovren's wasn't a dangerous play, not sure why you think that could have been a red.

Raz probably deserved a penalty -- agreed with Dixon that that's given as a foul anywhere outside the box.

It was a great match. Nice to be 4 points clear, but when you hold City to under 50% possession, 1.0 xG, and see them clear three goals off the line, hard not to wonder what could have been. Hopefully it won't matter.

I thought Lovren’s tackle was reckless and could easily

have injured Aguero. His studs weren’t up, but it looked like he slid right into Aguero’s legs. Liverpool has been great this year (and was great in this game). But Liverpool has certainly had its share of luck as well. It’s hard for City fans not to think what might have been had Mahrez not booted that penalty at Anfield.

In any event, I expect Liverpool will win the title, and it will be well deserved. And I’ll be happy for the Pool fans back here (although not the Scousers elsewhere). You lot are generally fair.
