Liverpool fans lash out at Daniel Munoz after controversial goal with third-choice goalkeeper down

Furious Liverpool fans threw a ball at Daniel Munoz after he scored whilst goalkeeper Freddie Woodman lay injured on the ground.

With the Reds leading 2-0 in the 71st minute at Anfield, disaster struck when third-choice goalkeeper Woodman went to ground hurt after making a strong save to deny Ismaila Sarr.

Despite this, play was allowed to continue, and the ball broke to Daniel Munoz on the edge of the box.

With Woodman still down, Munoz duly lifted the ball over the stopper into the empty net to pull a goal back for the Eagles.

This left Liverpool boss Arne Slot absolutely livid on the touchlines, who felt the game should have been stopped given the injury.

It also looked as though the Reds were set to suffer a huge blow, with third-choice stopper Woodman stepping in for injured first and second-choice goalkeepers Alisson and Giorgi Mamardashvili.

Woodman signalled for medical attention, and fourth-choice stopper, Armin Pecsi – who is yet to make his debut – was shown getting stripped to come on.

Fortunately for the Reds, Woodman was able to continue after receiving treatment, meaning Pecsi remained on the bench.

But the Anfield crowd made their anger towards Munoz known when play resumed, with fans throwing the ball at the Colombian’s back as he prepared to take a throw in.
