Phil Foden’s hilarious reaction after being challenged by Virgil van Dijk in Liverpool’s clash with Manchester City after being tackled by the Dutch centre-back

Phil Foden had a hilarious reaction to Virgil Van Dijk’s challenge during Liverpool’s 1-1 draw with Manchester City.

After being fouled by the Liverpool centre-back, Foden appeared to confront the defender who had stopped him.

However, fans did notice a funny moment where Foden instantly backed away after realizing who had attacked him.

The Manchester City star let Van Dijk escape, despite appearing visually aggrieved by the challenge.

Liverpool were hungry for more during the second half, with the hosts in the lead for much of the match.

Despite equalizing in the second half thanks to Alexis Mac Allister, who converted from a penalty, Liverpool dominated the game.

At the end of added time, the Reds were hoping for a second penalty after Jeremy Doku’s chest-high challenge on Mac Allister was denied.

Despite fans and players calling for a penalty, or even a booking, the score remained tied 1-1, leaving Arsenal top of the Premier League at the end of the weekend.
