The first ever European tie between bitter rivals Liverpool and Manchester United will so far be remembered for a defensive error from Memphis Depay.
The Dutch attacker, who’s had a difficult first season at Old Trafford, conceded a penalty when he pulled down Nathaniel Clyne before Daniel Sturridge tucked home the resulting spot kick.
Initially it looked like the challenge had occurred just outside of the penalty area, but replays later showed that contact continued inside the box.
United fans were unsurprisingly not happy with the challenge that saw their team trailing at half time, and took to Twitter to air their frustrations.

@FullTimeDEVILS bloody soft. But don't give the ref the opportunity Memphis!

Can't really love @Memphis right now.
Too many stupid moments from him.#LIVMUN #ManUtd #GGMU— MUFC (@WR10Dev7) March 10, 2016
Its a free kick. Not a penalty. But Memphis made a terrible mistake. For sure.

Memphis has probably cost us more goals than he has scored
