It was almost inevitable that Liverpool’s Premier League clash with Nottingham Forest would feature some kind of offside controversy—and the goods were duly delivered when Murillo’s 33rd minute strike was allowed to stand even though there were similarities to Virgil van Dijk’s disallowed effort against Manchester City.
Van Dijk’s header at the Etihad Stadium was chalked off after a combination of the assistant referee and VAR determined Andy Robertson to be interfering with Gianluigi Donnarumma’s attempts to keep the ball out. Had the goal stood, Liverpool would have drawn level at 1–1, but they went on to suffer a devastating 3–0 loss.
