    Alexis Mac Allister made a nightmare return to Brighton as his error gifted his old club the lead against Liverpool.<\/p>\n

    After Virgil van Dijk found him in the Reds' half, a flat-footed Mac Allister lost the ball to Simon Adingra, who strode forward and slotted beyond an out-of-position Alisson. Following last weekend's controversy at Tottenham, where Liverpool were denied a goal because of a VAR communications error, Jurgen Klopp suggested the game, which his side lost 2-1, should be replayed.<\/p>\n

    And in light of Mac Allister's howler, fans of rival clubs joked that Liverpool supporters will be demanding the same against Brighton. One quipped: "That\u2019s not on, the lad intercepted the Liverpool pass… There should be a replay!!!!"<\/p>\n

    Another joked: "Human error, that's gonna need a replay." A third posted: "Should probably replay this then, hey @LFC." A fourth waded in: "Liverpool want a replay already." Another laughed: "Replay the pass, Van Dyke!"<\/p>\n

    Klopp said the Tottenham game should be replayed as he faced the media ahead of his side's Europa League clash against Union Saint-Gilloise in midweek. The German said: "I think the only outcome should be a replay. It probably will not happen.<\/p>\n

    Do you think the Tottenham-Liverpool game should be replayed? Have your say in the comments section below<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

    \u201cThe argument against that will probably be if you open that gate then everybody will ask for it. I think the situation is that unprecedented \u2013 it didn\u2019t happen before.<\/p>\n

    \u201cI\u2019m 56 years old and I\u2019m absolutely used to wrong decisions, difficult decisions but something like that as far as I can remember has never happened. That\u2019s why I think the replay would be the right thing."<\/p>\n

    His plea triggered derision from fans and sections of the media. Opposing managers are also against the idea, with Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou saying: "I think Jurgen\u2019s said that and maybe that was taken a little bit out of context. My view is when you\u2019re talking about a replay, there\u2019s got to be some sort of threshold and I don\u2019t think a mistake is a threshold for that. <\/p>\n

    "It was a unique mistake, people have used an unprecedented mistake and I agree with that, but it was still a mistake. So, if your threshold for replays is mistakes by individuals, that\u2019s 365 games a year, I reckon.\u201d<\/p>\n
