Liverpool supporters have been left raging by what they feel is evidence of inconsistent officiating during Arsenal 's win over Crystal Palace . Gunners midfielder Thomas Partey went unpunished despite asking referee David Coote to yellow card an opponent, with the Reds' Alexis Mac Allister penalised for exactly the same thing against Chelsea last weekend. Takehiro Tomiyasu made it a nervy ending for Mikel Arteta's side, receiving his second booking with half an hour remaining. But the Gunners held on for the 1-0 victory, making it two wins from two in their quest for the Premier League title. One player who managed to avoid the referee's book was Partey, despite the Ghanaian clearly signalling for a yellow card to be given for diving when Eberechi Eze went down in the penalty area.
