Haaland Wants Late Cherki Goal Given Instead of Szoboszlai Red Card

Erling Haaland
January 2026

Erling Haaland criticised the late VAR decision that disallowed Rayan Cherki’s stoppage-time goal at Anfield and instead sent off Dominik Szoboszlai, arguing officials should have allowed the goal rather than issuing a three-match ban. With Liverpool pushing forward, Cherki released Haaland through on goal. Szoboszlai pulled Haaland back, Haaland then pulled Szoboszlai as the ball trickled in. VAR ruled the goal out for Haaland’s foul and dismissed Szoboszlai for denying a clear chance earlier in the move. Haaland said he felt bad for Szoboszlai and preferred the goal to stand.

Mohamed Salah’s extended applause for Liverpool fans after the win over Brighton has been read by body-language expert Darren Stanton as a likely “swan song”, with the analyst suggesting the occasion looked and felt like a farewell even without any official announcement on the forward’s future. Restored to the squad after clear-the-air talks, Salah took a slow lap of Anfield post-match, clapping supporters as banners hailed his achievements. Stanton highlighted apparent tears, micro-expressions of sadness and the timing before AFCON as signs Salah internally recognises he may never again walk out there as a Liverpool player.

Mohamed Salah’s claim that Liverpool have “thrown him under the bus” after three straight games on the bench has triggered a fierce backlash, with Jamie Carragher branding him a disgrace before later apologising, and supporters now deeply divided over whether the forward or the club is in the wrong. Salah argued that broken promises, a lost relationship with Slot and his track record justify a guaranteed starting role, but critics point to his poor season, his history of public contract pressure and Liverpool’s unbeaten run since he was dropped. Fans and pundits stress that no player is bigger than the club, while others defend his past contributions.

Goals from Murillo, Nicolas Savona and Morgan Gibbs-White capped a display built on defensive organisation and relentless work-rate, with Dyche stressing that Forest’s intensive training, blocks, and confidence in goalkeeper Matz Sels underpinned a performance where they accepted little possession but executed chances ruthlessly.
