Steve Sidwell offered his opinion on the controversy that erupted during the last few minutes of Nottingham Forest vs. Liverpool’s Premier League game at the City Ground last weekend.
In the Premier League last Saturday, Nottingham Forest was defeated 1-0 by Liverpool at the City Ground.
Darwin Nunez, a striker for Uruguay, scored the game’s lone goal in the ninth minute of injury time.
After providing the cross, Nunez went home, thanks to Alexis Mac Allister. Even though the goal was the result of defensive errors made 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 goalkeeper 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 the controversy involving Nottingham Forest against Liverpool
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. This following weekend, they play Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League, and I am betting on them to win.
