Manchester United manager David Moyes questioned some of
referee Mark Clattenburg's decisions in Sunday's 3-0 defeat to Liverpool.
Steven Gerrard scored twice from the spot at Old Trafford
before missing the chance to complete a hat-trick when hitting the post with
another penalty 12 minutes from time.
United saw Nemanja Vidic sent off for the foul that led
to Liverpool's third penalty, and went on to concede again as Luis Suarez found
the net in the 84th minute.
"It was a game littered with penalty kicks and
decisions - some were right and some were wrong," Moyes told Sky Sports.
"To give away one (a penalty) 20 seconds into the
second half made it an upward climb.
"They (Liverpool) played better than us. Some decisions
went for them and on some occasions they earned it but on others they didn't.
"I think that's just the way things are; it's best
we don't talk about it."
Moyes was particularly aggrieved by United being denied a
penalty when Glen Johnson appeared to handle in the area.
The United boss continued: "I thought it hits his
hand, it's not a lot different from (the penalty given against) Rafael.
"I think Liverpool played well but in the first half
there wasn't a great deal in it."
Despite suffering another setback in a disappointing
first season in charge at Old Trafford, Moyes has refused to concede defeat in
the chase for UEFA Champions League qualification.
"We'll fight to the end, (Champions League
qualification) will be tough but we'll see what we can do," he added.
