What happened. Liverpool had a goal disallowed when Florian Wirtz's strike was ruled out for offside against Jeremie Frimpong in the build-up.

• VAR recommended disallowing the goal after Frimpong was offside.
• Dan Ndoye had opened the scoring for Forest.
• Ally McCoist said Frimpong was 'just slightly offside'.

“VAR checked the referee’s call of goal – and determined that Frimpong was in an offside position and recommended that the goal was disallowed.”

The decision left Liverpool searching for an equaliser at Anfield.
