Alan Shearer has delivered a clear one-word reaction to whether Nottingham Forest should have been awarded a penalty against Liverpool.
The Reds bowed out the competition after giving the Premier League heavyweights a real run for their money at the City Ground, with Diogo Jota’s close-range strike proving to be the only goal of the game. However, soon after the goal, there were massive shouts for a Forest penalty when midfielder Ryan Yates went down under a challenge from keeper Alisson Becker as he broke into the box.
Amid huge appeals from the home fans and players, the incident was checked by VAR, which awarded a goal-kick rather than a spot-kick. Former England and Newcastle United striker Shearer believes the right call was made.
