What the fans thought

Quiet5

1 of 327 comments in the r/soccer post-match thread were angry about the officiating, mostly from Liverpool fans. Main gripes: offside and disallowed goal.

“Honestly baffling how players doff the shirt when it’s not a 2+ goal buffer or the last kick of the game, even aside from the equaliser it might be chalked off. Salah the GOAT of sensible shirt doffing” · 7 upvotes · LIV fan
