Deep into stoppage time though, Hannibal handled Jeremie Frimpong’s cross, giving Mohamed Salah the chance to win all three points for the Reds – an opportunity the Egyptian did not squander in front of the traveling Liverpool supporters.

The midfielder received little sympathy from Jamie Carragher after Frimpong’s cross caught his outstretched arm, with referee Michael Oliver showing no hesitation in awarding Liverpool its penalty.

Hannibal looked distraught as he made his way off the pitch at full-time, with Ekdal and his teammates left to reflect after missing out on a point.

“Of course it’s a mistake and he knows it,” Ekdal told Sky Sports. “We told him [Hannibal Mejbri] afterwards that it happens. It’s very unfortunate.

“We did such a good game, keeping it tight and hoping to see the game through then this moment comes. Of course it’s going to happen. It’s so typical and not a nice moment.

“It’s one mistake in the end. Last week it cost us and it’s very unfortunate. We are doing a good game, following our game plan and we are a few seconds from one point. It just feels typical to concede those types of goal.
