A Moment of Madness
Football often delivers moments that defy logic, and one such scene unfolded in dramatic fashion when Rayan Cherki appeared to score from inside his own half while Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker had gone forward in a last-ditch attempt to attack a set piece.
With Liverpool committing every player forward in search of a goal, the ball was cleared high and long. It fell to Cherki near the halfway line. Spotting the empty net, he struck first time, sending the ball arcing toward goal as players and fans watched in disbelief.
The ball rolled into the net, seemingly sealing a spectacular and unforgettable goal.
For a few seconds, it looked like one of the most extraordinary moments of the season.
The Controversy That Followed
Celebrations, however, were short-lived. Almost immediately, protests erupted on the pitch. Players surrounded the referee as questions were raised about an incident in the buildup.
After discussions and a review, the referee ruled the goal out, triggering confusion across the stadium. Many supporters were left stunned, struggling to understand how such a dramatic goal could be overturned.
The decision sparked debate among players, staff, and fans alike, turning what seemed like a historic highlight into a moment of controversy.
