John Aldridge: 'Howard Webb cost Liverpool again'

Liverpool legend John Aldridge criticises Howard Webb for the official's failure to award the Reds a penalty in the FA Cup against Arsenal.

Liverpool legend John Aldridge has criticised Howard Webb after the referee failed to award the Reds a penalty as they crashed out of the FA Cup on Sunday.

The Reds were beaten 2-1 by Arsenal and were denied a spot kick when Luis Suarez was bundled over by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

He told the Liverpool Echo: "If an Arsenal fan had been in charge of that game, even they would've had to give a second penalty.

"To be fair to Webb, he was a whole 10 yards away and only had a clearcut, unhindered view of the incident! But seriously, he can have no excuses for the decision.

"How many of these wrong decisions does Webb have to make before action is taken? For a start, he should never referee a Liverpool game ever again. The Reds can go back in the archives and use a long list of games to help state their case."

The Reds are currently fourth in the Premier League.
