In the 6th minute of the game, Gallagher fell to the ground in the penalty area, but the referee did not call a penalty kick.

When he was a guest on the TNT sports program, regarding this controversial penalty, Joe Cole said: “In the first 10 minutes of this game, Just in front of the Red Army fans, the referee’s decision was not very good.”
However, former Villa player Sutton held a different view view. He said: “Gallagher did have physical contact with Van Dijk, but I think Gallagher fell to the ground too easily. I think this is the correct penalty, there was only slight contact between the two people.”
