Former presenter Richard Keys has ignited controversy by suggesting that Liverpool's winning goal against Fulham should not have stood.

Controversy Over Liverpool's Winning Goal

In a thrilling comeback victory over Fulham, Trent Alexander-Arnold scored a sensational winner from the edge of the area. However, Keys and his beIN SPORTS team argued that the goal should have been disallowed due to a foul on Bobby Decordova-Reid by Kostas Tsimikas.

Decordova-Reid was left on the ground after a clash with Tsimikas, but referee Stuart Atwell allowed play to continue and VAR did not intervene.

Former Liverpool Player Supports Foul Decision

Former Liverpool midfielder Jason McAteer sided with Decordova-Reid, stating that he believed a foul had occurred. McAteer said, "Tsimikas, the way he challenged, he didn't win the ball – he barged into the player. It's a brave call to disallow that, but for me, that's a foul."

Another colleague, Dwight Yorke, agreed, describing it as a clear foul. He pointed out that the defender had cleared the ball before being struck.

Keys' Bizarre Conspiracy Theory

Keys responded to the discussion by presenting a conspiracy theory, suggesting that the goal was allowed because it happened at the Kop End, where Liverpool's passionate fans are located.

Alexander-Arnold's Disallowed Goal

Earlier in the match, Alexander-Arnold believed he had opened the scoring for Liverpool with a free-kick. However, the goal was disallowed as it rebounded off the crossbar, hit Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno, and then found the back of the net.

Liverpool's Valuable Three Points

In addition to Alexander-Arnold's winner, Alexis Mac Allister and Endo also found the back of the net for Liverpool. The victory secured three valuable points for the team, propelling them to second place in the table.
