Was Alisson fouled?

The article reports that there is controversy surrounding a goal scored by Manchester City during a match against Liverpool. The goal was initially disallowed by the referee due to a perceived foul on Liverpool's goalkeeper, Alisson. However, VAR will review the decision. Replays show that Manuel Akanji lightly gripped Alisson's arm when the corner was bent in, and then jumped beside him in an attempt to win the ball. Alisson flapped at it and allowed the ball through his grasp, where it was tapped in by Ruben Dias. Whether or not the goal will stand is yet to be determined. City fans are frustrated with the decision to disallow the goal, and Pep Guardiola looks perplexed on the touchline. If the goal is given, it could potentially lead to a draw for Liverpool.
