Slow motion footage of Jeremy Doku's high tackle on Alexis Mac Allister has emerged online, with Liverpool fans fuming at the outcome. 

It came after the Belgian winger avoided conceding a late penalty from a chest-high challenge on Alexis Mac Allister, as VAR deemed his tackle was 'played in a reasonable position'. 

Eight minutes into added time, the tackle sparked protests from the Reds who wanted their second penalty of the game. Pundits were also wary of whether the City winger would end up in trouble. 

However, after a VAR check, it was ruled that the tackle wasn't enough to overrule the referee's on-field decision.

Online, the slow-motion video appears to show that the ball came off Mac Allister first, before Doku caught the Liverpool man.
