Robertson: Watford's Hughes should have been booked for diving

The Liverpool defender believes Jon Moss got penalty decision spot on as Reds beat Watford at Vicarage Road

Andy Robertson believes Will Hughes should have been booked for diving during Watford’s defeat to Liverpool on Saturday.

The Reds eventually ran out comfortable 3-0 winners at Vicarage Road but only after a testing first hour in which the Hornets provided a stiff test for Jurgen Klopp’s side.

There was a contentious incident early in the second half when, with the game goalless, Hughes went down in the penalty area under a challenge from Robertson. Referee Jon Moss, to the disgust of Hughes and the home supporters, waved away the appeals.
