Liverpool fans are actually celebrating the fact that Marouane Fellaini was not banned for elbow

They're over the moon.

Usually fans are up in arms when an opposition player goes unpunished for a foul but that's not the case when the player in question is Marouane Fellaini. Many expected the Manchester United midfielder to face a suspension after appearing to strike Liverpool's Emre Can with an elbow during the first leg of their Europa League round of 16 tie at Anfield. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uA7VUQPIg1Y But it emerged on Monday morning that there will be no retrospective action taken against the Belgian, meaning he will be free to start in the return leg at Old Trafford on Thursday. Having been ineffective last week, Fellaini's likely presence in the United team is actually being celebrated by Reds fans. https://twitter.com/IbeGottaFeeling/status/709330947704020993 https://twitter.com/TheAnfieldChat/status/709332683827052544 https://twitter.com/PrometheusX1Z/status/709331875110785027 https://twitter.com/Anshxl/status/709331229464666112 https://twitter.com/PrometheusX1Z/status/709331875110785027
