Liverpool suffered an embarrassing 3-0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest on Saturday afternoon with a result that looks like they will give up their Premier League title with a whimper.
The Reds dominated the opening 30 minutes but after going behind they looked out of ideas as Forest left Anfield deserved winners. Liverpool have now lost six of their last seven league games.
The first half saw two controversial decisions as Forest had the ball in the net twice. The opening goal was allowed to stand, despite an attacker in front of Alisson Becker in the Liverpool goal - just weeks after Virgil van Dijk saw a similar goal ruled out.
Two minutes later, Forest thought they had scored a second but it was ruled out for handball - although that decision did not appear to be definitive.
The decisions did not have a huge impact on the end result.
Everton, meanwhile, were also involved in a controversial decision as they were able to overcome a major piece of adversity to beat Manchester United on Monday night. Idrissa Gueye was sent off early into the game for a confrontation with team-mate Michael Keane - but the offence did not appear worthy of a red card.
“When I saw it I didn’t think there was anything in it,” Moyes said afterwards. “I was a bit annoyed they were challenging each other but I was also quite pleased they were fighting each other because it shows me they cared.”
However, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall fired in a stunning goal on 29 minutes as Everton kept United at bay to claim a hugely-impressive win.
With VAR continuing to cause contention, we have worked out how the current Premier League table would look without the technology.
