Alan Shearer and Ian Wright were in disagreement over whether the free-kick that led to Bruno Fernandes' winner for Manchester United against Liverpool should have been awarded.

With the sides level at 2-2 in the closing stages of the FA Cup fourth round tie at Old Trafford, referee Craig Pawson gave United a free-kick just outside the area for a challenge from Liverpool's Fabinho on Edinson Cavani.l

Newcastle legend Shearer felt that it was the correct decision, saying that Fabinho's knee went 'through the back' of Cavani.
