It was due to a “elementary refereeing error” that Liverpool was able to score a goal that proved to be decisive during the encounter between Nottingham Forest and Liverpool

A “basic refereeing error” was a contributing factor in Liverpool’s 1-0 victory over Nottingham Forest, a victory that has the potential to determine the outcome of the Premier League title battle.

At the City Ground, the Reds were able to secure all three points thanks to a goal scored by Darwin Nunez in the 99th minute. It was the first goal ever scored in the history of the Premier League.

What transpired between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest before these events?
In the 98th minute, Ibrahima Konate sustained a head injury as a result of Callum Hudson-Odoi having possession of the ball.

It was the responsibility of the Reds to return the ball to the Forest third, but instead they were awarded possession of it.

Once they had the ball back, the team coached by Jurgen Klopp immediately went on the offensive. Nunez scored the goal that ultimately decided the outcome of the game after the home team had won the ball twice but failed to clear it.

Tierney was running down the corridor when Forest, who was quite angry, yelled at him, “Respect the players!” Evangelis Marinakis, the owner of the business, was also very angry. Each and every week, it takes place.

Regarding Tierney’s performance as a referee, Andy Gray and Richard Keys of BeIn Sport were quite critical of his job.

According to Gray, “That’s the whole point—they give it back to the team that has it.” “A team can’t lose the ball.”

When Keys saw images of the furious Forest players yelling at the judge at the conclusion of the game, he stated, “He’s telling you to talk to me inside, not out here.” That was the message that Keys received.

The statement that Gray made when he was given the opportunity to speak was as follows: “You can’t take the ball away from the team in the last third and hand it to the other team.”

“It’s a basic refereeing error, and it shouldn’t happen at this level,” Keys said in the end.

“It’s a basic refereeing error that should not happen at this level”

“It’s a basic refereeing error, and it shouldn’t happen at this level,” Keys stated at the conclusion of the game or match.

During the course of this season, Liverpool has been subjected to a number of calls that raise questions. One of the most well-known instances was when Luis Diaz scored a goal against Tottenham, but it was ruled offside because there was a communication issue with the video assistant referees.

The goal scored by Klopp’s team on Saturday pushed them four points ahead of Manchester City in the Premier League table. Manchester City is currently in second place. The match between City and United is scheduled for Sunday, while Pep Guardiola’s squad will be visiting Anfield the following weekend.
