As Liverpool fans were celebrating our late winner at the City Ground, the home team were readying to blame Virgil van Dijk for Darwin Nunez’s last gasp goal.
When the full-time whistle blew, Paul Tierney was surrounded by the Nottingham Forest players and staff which led to Steven Reid being shown a red card.

However, you can also see clear anger towards our captain because it was thought that after the game was stopped for Ibou Konate’s head injury – the Dutchman should have kicked the ball back.
Instead we attacked, won a corner and scored a late goal that claimed all three points and it was obvious that our No.4 is the man who was blamed for this string of events by those from Nottinghamshire.

Sore looser forest.
Robbery at its finest spoken like a true Scouse prick.
No robbery at all except you lot time wasting as per usual 🙄 not to mention you player booted konate in the head that’s the reason he went down, you fans should be ashamed and I hope you get the punishment aswell and to top it off I hope your club gets relegated as your fans deserve it
Robin Hood, a Scouser in disguise 🤣🤣🤣
.
As usual in most games poor refereeing decisions with por VAR and inconsistent decisions in most games. Some better independant officiating on VAR decisions strongly needed
Well, the sane situation happened earlier in the match and Liverpool was not given the ball. Thus, it was a consistent decision, and fair no matter what the rules denote.
Liverpool won the match rightfully. They dominated the opposite team & deserved to win . The referee Paul Tierney officiated the match well. Hats off to him
