Nunez’s goal at Nottingham forest has courted controversy as Mike Dean brands Liverpool’s winner a Monumental error. Liverpool’s late, late winner was scored 32 seconds after the stipulated eight minutes of added time.

Nunez’s goal came in a dramatic turn of events after Nottingham forest fans chanted at him, calling him a s**t Andy Carroll.

There was an outrage at the end of the game. At the final whistle a Nottingham forest owner Evangelos Marinakis ran onto the pitch to confront the referee.

Mike Dean brands Liverpool’s winner a Monumental error

Liverpool broke to score and protect their lead at the top of the table. But before that, there was what Mike Dean referred to as a “Monumental” error in the build up to the goal.

Mike Dean was speaking during the build up to the Manchester derby. He said the decision to award a drop ball to Liverpool, instead of forest was a bad one.

Play had broken down following a head injury for konate. The Forest players had to put the ball out of play, ending a dangerous attack on Liverpool’s goal in the process. Kelleher kick started play which lead to Liverpool clinching the winner 2 minutes later.

In fairness to Liverpool, the passage of play between the award of the drop ball and the goal was about two minutes. That is too long to say that the error lead directly to a goal.

What can be linked directly to the goal though is the time added after injury time had elapsed.

This results may have a huge impact on both team’s seasons. Liverpool clung tighter to top spot while Nottingham forest slipped to 17th, four points off safety having played a game more.
