JUST IN: Arnold erupt anger in towards in match refree decision in Post match interview after a SHOCKING triumph .
Trent Alexander-Arnold had a heated exchange with referee Michael Oliver after Liverpool’s loss to Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
The Reds delivered an underwhelming performance at Anfield, with Callum Hudson-Odoi scoring the decisive goal in the 72nd minute. This marked Arne Slot’s first defeat as Liverpool manager after an impressive start to the season.
While Liverpool’s poor display left little room for complaints about the result, some fans criticized Oliver for being too lenient with Nottingham Forest captain Ryan Yates, especially during the first half after a series of fouls.
TV cameras caught Alexander-Arnold confronting Oliver after the final whistle, though it’s unclear if his frustration was about Yates’ fouls or something else entirely.
Alexander-Arnold struggled with his crossing throughout the match and was shifted to central midfield after Alexis Mac Allister was substituted around the 60th minute. However, that change didn’t pay off, as Liverpool conceded shortly after, with Hudson-Odoi’s shot curling into the far corner.
Hudson-Odoi, speaking to BBC Sport, described his goal: “As the space opened, I saw a clear shot and was delighted it went in. It’s a huge win.”
Forest’s Anthony Elanga, who was subbed in alongside Hudson-Odoi, added: “We came to Liverpool, and not many teams can beat them like we did—we got our reward in the end.”
