What Alisson did to Conor Bradley after Callum Hudson-Odoi goal didn't go unnoticed

Liverpool fans think they spotted Alisson giving Conor Bradley a ticking off following Nottingham Forest's winning goal at Anfield.

Bradley was brought off the bench just after the hour mark, moving into the right-back position as Arne Slot sprung a surprise and pushed Trent Alexander-Arnold up the pitch and into the centre of midfield.

However, that move backfired as Liverpool surrendered the little control they had in midfield without Alexis Mac Allister, and Forest took the lead around 10 minutes later.

Callum Hudson-Odoi, a substitute for Forest, picked the ball up on the left wing before squaring up Bradley, skipping past the young defender, and curling a shot past Alisson into the far corner.

Alisson seemingly felt that Bradley made it too easy for Hudson-Odoi to get into a shooting position, and appeared to shout at the Northern Irishman as he turned around and prepared for the game to kick back off.

Liverpool fans online largely agreed with the goalkeeper, with one X user writing: "Alisson was having a moan at Bradley after that goal and he’s 100% right. Everyone watching that game knew he wanted to come in his right foot. He made it so easy for him."

Hudson-Odoi certainly had the better of the young full-back during the pair's time on the pitch, and speaking after the match he revealed his delight at making a match-winning impact after dealing with the disappointment of being left out of Nuno Espirito Santo's starting line-up.

"Everyone's morale is up, we are confident going into every game," Hudson-Odoi said. "We know in our heads the mentality has to be right and we are doing that as a team. The camp is good.

"I didn't start but I wasn't angry or disappointed, I am buzzing, we are all buzzing. It's nice to get the goals but it's just the start of the season and I can keep getting more."
