Liverpool and Nottingham Forest fans were left outraged after controversial VAR decisions in the first half of their Premier League clash at Anfield.<\/p>\n
Liverpool, under Arne Slot, were hoping for a turnaround after a difficult start to their title defence. However, the match quickly went against them.<\/p>\n
In the 33rd minute, Forest\u2019s Murillo scored from a corner, sparking complaints from Liverpool fans who argued that Dan Ndoye blocked Alisson\u2019s view, similar to Virgil van Dijk\u2019s disallowed goal against Manchester City. The goal, however, stood.<\/p>\n
Minutes later, Forest thought they had scored again through Igor Jesus, but referee Andy Madley ruled it out for handball after VAR review, despite the ball appearing to hit Jesus\u2019 chest. The score remained 1-0.<\/p>\n
Fans took to social media to express their frustration:<\/p>\n
One pointed out Ndoye\u2019s position in front of Alisson.<\/p>\n
Another demanded consistency, comparing the incident to the Robertson offside call.<\/p>\n
Others criticized VAR\u2019s handling of both decisions, calling them inconsistent and unfair.<\/p>\n
The Premier League later explained the rulings: Murillo\u2019s goal stood because Ndoye did not obstruct Alisson\u2019s vision or action, while Jesus\u2019 goal was correctly disallowed as the ball touched his hand.<\/p>\n
Forest added a second goal in the 46th minute, with Nicolo Savona finishing Neco Williams\u2019 cutback, putting the match further out of Liverpool\u2019s reach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
