Richard Keys has suggested that Trent Alexander-Arnold’s goal against Fulham shouldn’t have been counted, as it allegedly stood due to an unusual reason.
Jurgen Klopp’s team managed a 4-3 triumph against Fulham at Anfield on Sunday, maintaining their position in the Premier League.
Facing Marco Silva’s team, the Reds needed to stay competitive in the league, but their victory wasn’t straightforward. Alexander-Arnold initiated the scoring with a free-kick that deflected off Bernd Leno before former player Harry Wilson quickly equalized. Subsequently, Alexis Mac Allister scored with a powerful long-range strike, only for Fulham to equalize again.
With just ten minutes remaining, Bobby de-Cordova Reid unexpectedly put Fulham ahead 3-2. Nonetheless, substitute Wataru Endo leveled the score before Alexander-Arnold secured a thrilling injury-time win.
In discussions on beIN Sport after the match, Keys disagreed with the decision to validate the goal, alleging a foul in the play’s buildup. He then proposed an unusual rationale for the goal being allowed, stating, “It’s only not considered a foul because it occurred at the Kop End.”
