Despite a scintillating first-half display, Forest could not put the ball in the net, and were made to pay in the 97th minute when the second of two late VAR decisions went against them.
In truth, it's difficult to know where to start with the late calls. No-one (if any) in the ground expected the first one to be chalked off, but by the letter of the law it was correct. No-one from Forest was disputing the second one, although stills show that Hugo Ekitike was in an offside position, but deemed not to be interfering 🤷♂️
Rich and Baz try and untangle all of that, as well as discussing tactics, subs and confidence. The view from the opposition comes from Neil of The Anfield Wrap.
