Liverpool’s goalkeeper, Alisson Becker, faces an £8,000 fine imposed by the Football Association following an incident in the Premier League. The Brazilian netminder kicked an electronic substitution board after a tense 2-2 draw against Nottingham Forest, an episode stemming from his frustration with the game’s officiation.
Becker’s actions followed an on-field dispute, where he was booked after objecting to the lack of readiness of the substitution board during a critical point in the match. This frustration boiled over post-match as the video shared on social media captured him damaging the board near the tunnel area.
The FA asserted that Becker behaved improperly, leading to the disciplinary action. The fine marks a challenging moment for Liverpool, who are set to face Fulham next after beginning their league campaign with two draws.
