Nottingham Forest suffered a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Liverpool at the City Ground in the Premier League last Saturday.
Uruguay international striker Darwin Nunez scored the only goal of the match in the ninth minute of injury time.
Alexis Mac Allister provided the cross, and Nunez headed home. While there were defensive mistakes at the back that led to the goal, what happened earlier was hugely controversial.
Referee Paul Tierney wrongly handed Liverpool goalkeeper, Caoimhin Kelleher, the ball to restart play from a drop ball.
It happened less than two minutes before NĂșnez headed home. The goal came in the ninth minute of injury time. The fourth official, Graham Scott, indicated eight added minutes, although, as reported by The Guardian, the figure held up is a minimum.

My View: Nottingham Forest need to move on
Forest lost the match, and I think that Nunoâs side need to just accept it and move on now. They have a big game coming up against Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League this weekend, and I am backing them to win it.
