Chelsea defender Toni Rudiger was rapped for scuffing the penalty spot at Liverpool during yesterday's 1-1 draw.
Kai Havertz's superb header had given the visitors the lead but the game changed when Reece James was sent-off in first-half stoppage time.
The Chelsea defender was adjudged to have deliberately handled the ball, but his team-mates were fuming.
They felt the ball bouncing up off James' thigh should've given him some leeway but Anthony Taylor thought differently after consulting the VAR monitor.
Liverpool's Andy Robertson and Rudiger had words during the skirmish that saw tempers flare.
Before Mohamed Salah stepped up to take the penalty the Blues defender attempted to scuff up the spot.
Rudiger picked up a yellow card for his efforts, which were heavily crticised.
Co-commentator Sinclair said on TalkSport: “That is absolutely rubbish, that, from Rudiger.
“There's bending the rules but that is taking absolute liberties!"
