Tim Cahill has insisted that Liverpool should not have been awarded a late penalty in the 2-1 win over Fulham on Sunday.
Fulham goalkeeper Rico was adjudged to have brought down Sadio Mane inside the area with 10 minutes left after Ryan Babel had just equalised for the hosts six minutes prior.
Second-half substitute James Milner stepped up to convert the spot-kick to win the game and keep Liverpool's title dreams alive at Craven Cottage.
