Alisson fined £8,000 for Anfield incident after Nottingham Forest draw

Alisson has been hit with an £8,000 fine for kicking the fourth official’s electronic board near the Anfield tunnel after Liverpool’s 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest.

The incident came at full-time on Saturday, as the Liverpool goalkeeper walked off the pitch following a chaotic finish against Oliver Glasner’s side. Video footage showed the Brazilian lashing out at the substitution and added-time board as he headed towards the tunnel.

Tension had already been simmering.

Alisson, 33, had conceded a second-half penalty when he raced off his line and collided with Neco Williams, allowing Morgan Gibbs-White to put Forest 2-1 ahead from the spot. On Wednesday, the Key Match Incidents panel released its findings and ruled that the penalty should not have been awarded.

Frustration had also grown over technical issues on the touchline. The fourth official’s board malfunctioned during the game, just as Liverpool tried to make substitutions with the score at 1-1. The ball went out of play three times, yet the changes still did not happen.

Forest then seized their moment. Liam Delap took a quick throw-in to Williams, who drove into the box and went down under Alisson’s challenge, leading to the controversial spot-kick that the panel has since deemed incorrect.

An FA spokesperson confirmed that Alisson accepted a misconduct charge after it was alleged he “acted in an improper manner around the tunnel area”. The fine draws a disciplinary line under a night that will still sting at Anfield, not just for the result, but for how it all unraveled in those crucial moments.
