What Liverpool fans chanted after rising above classless and unnecessary songs

While the ongoing fallout from Liverpool’s controversial win over Nottingham Forest might suggest otherwise, it was the Reds who enjoyed the final word at the City Ground on Saturday.

Darwin Nunez’s 99th minute header clinched a valuable win for Jurgen Klopp’s side, snatching three points on an afternoon where it had initially looked like the Reds might have to settle for one. In doing so, the Uruguayan left the Forest fans who had belittled him as just a ‘s**t Andy Carroll’ when he took to the field 39 minutes earlier with egg on their faces.

They aren’t the first fanbase to suffer such treatment and won’t be the last. Yet the home supporters were not to be silenced either, as they made their feelings at the manner of their defeat perfectly clear.

“Cheats, cheats, cheats!” they shouted at the Liverpool players as they departed down the tunnel after the final whistle, having been left apoplectic ever since the game’s most controversial moment just a few minutes earlier - when referee Paul Tierney did not return possession to Forest at a drop ball after Ibrahima Konate suffered a head injury in his own box.

The backlash from his incorrect decision is now into its third day as Forest continue to vent at such ‘injustice’. Evidently, the histrionics of their bench, the sending off of first team coach Steven Reid, and the appearance of Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis on the sidelines on the day was not enough.

Of course, the home fans had proven to be a hostile crowd long before Nunez’s winner. It look them less than three minutes to resort to poverty
