Shearer was angry at the ease Adam Lallana fell to the ground during Liverpool's clash with Everton
“The way Lallana goes down to his knees, I don’t think that’s a penalty at all.
“There’s no way that’s a penalty, it’s a contact sport.
“You can actually touch people without it being a free kick or a penalty.”
James Milner scored the penalty for Liverpool and a late Virgil van Dijk header on debut helped Liverpool to a 2-1 win.
