Liverpool were beaten 3-0 by Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Saturday, with the Reds on the receiving end of a controversial VAR decision at Anfield
Liverpool have been told why they should "feel aggrieved" after two refereeing decisions during their Premier League defeat to Nottingham Forest. The Reds suffered a 3-0 loss at Anfield on Saturday, a result which has seen them drop to 11th place in the league table.
Arne Slot's side will now turn their attention to PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League during the week, before returning to Premier League duties next weekend against West Ham.
Liverpool will be eager to bounce back as quickly as possible, but were left frustrated by a controversial decision during their loss to Forest.
Murillo broke the deadlock for the visitors at Anfield over the weekend, with the goal being reviewed by VAR after Dan Ndoye was in an offside position standing in goalkeeper Alisson's line of sight.
The goal was comparable to the one Virgil van Dijk netted against Manchester City a fortnight ago, which was ruled out after Andy Robertson was deemed to be offside and in front of goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma as he ducked under the path of the ball, reports the Liverpool Echo.
Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher has explained on Sky Sports ' Ref Watch why Liverpool could feel hard done by the decision.
"I go back to two weeks ago and the grey area for this kind of incident is too wide. We are at the behest of the officials on the day," Gallagher said.
"It's so subjective and it is too loose. There are no defining barriers like handball.
"If you tighten this up, people might not like it, but we'd accept it. At the moment, people are saying this has happened to our team this week and this has happened to our team this week.
"Liverpool feel aggrieved at both decisions."
Gallagher went on to be asked why Murillo's goal was allowed to stand and Van Dijk's header was disallowed two weeks ago, and the difference in offside between Robertson a fortnight ago and Ndoye over the weekend.
"The difference is Andy Robertson moves. He moves to the ball," Gallagher explained.
"You ask for consistency and to get the decision right, but you can't have both. If you want consistency, every goal like this would be disallowed.
"Consistency is only good as long as everyone is happy with it.
"Last week it was said the Liverpool goal should have been a goal. This week, two have been given as goals. You could say everyone has looked and learnt.
"They haven't been inconsistent. They have actually recognised and thought that in this situation the more acceptable situation is a goal. They have actually given people what they want."
