Steve Sidwell has given his take on the controversy in the final minutes of the Premier League match between Nottingham Forest and Liverpool at the City Ground last weekend.
Nottingham Forest lost their Premier League match against Liverpool last Saturday, 1-0, at the City Ground.
In the ninth minute of injury time, Darwin Nunez, a striker for Uruguay, scored the game’s lone goal.
Nunez made his way home after receiving the cross from Alexis Mac Allister. Even though the goal was the result of defensive errors at the back, the preceding events were very contentious.
Play was restarted from a drop ball, but referee Paul Tierney gave the ball to Liverpool custodian Caoimhin Kelleher in error.
Less than two minutes had passed before Núnez left for his house. In the ninth minute of injury time, the goal was scored. Graham Scott, the fourth official, indicated eight further minutes; nevertheless, the figure held up is a minimum, according to The Guardian.
Steve Sidwell on Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool controversy
Steve Sidwell, a former midfielder for Chelsea and Brighton & Hove Albion, commented on the dispute and stated that the choice was incorrect.
It’s awful, Sidwell stated on That Peter Crouch Podcast. It is mandated by law. It’s the incorrect choice. It is objective. He did not do what was right. It was a huge mistake!
I think it’s time for Nottingham Forest to move on. I don’t think it’s necessary to again discuss the situation from the match versus Liverpool.
Nuno’s team should, in my opinion, just accept that Forest lost the game and move on. They play Brighton and Hove Albion in a crucial Premier League match this coming weekend, and I am betting on them to win.
