Emmy-winning Liverpool fan Owen Cooper took to Instagram to express his frustration with the Reds' defeat by Manchester City on Sunday.

Liverpool led through Dominik Szoboszlai's incredible free-kick but collapsed late on to lose 2-1 after late goals from Bernardo Silva and Erling Haaland.

Cooper – who played Jamie Miller in last year's hit Netflix series Adolescence – seemed to crassly suggest that he wanted City's next opponent – Fulham – to dish out career-ending injuries to City's scorers.

He tastelessly wrote: "Fulham, make sure Erling and Bernardo never ever see a football pitch every again."

The game between Liverpool and City ended in dramatic fashion, with all three goals coming after the 70-minute mark, while a late disallowed third goal for City also resulted in a straight red card for Szoboszlai in bizarre circumstances.

Liverpool had been the dominant side for much of the second half, responding to City's first-half superiority encouragingly, and it looked as though the Reds would go on to claim three important points.

Arne Slot admitted after the game that he was – unsurprisingly – angry with the outcome of it, saying he had "a feeling of disappointment."

He added: "First half, City were the better team on the pitch without creating that many big chances, except for the one from Haaland in the first minute. But they played easier with the ball. But the improvement we have made since three or four months ago [when Liverpool was beaten 3-0 at the Etihad Stadium] I think was visible for everyone.

"Second half, our standards went up. Standards in terms of intensity. We were pressing them all over the place and that is the biggest improvement we have made in the last three or four months - that the whole team is now able at the highest level against a team that is probably one of the best teams, maybe the best team or one of the best teams in England in ball possession, to do so well off the ball is a big improvement.

"Fantastic second half, I was expecting more than being 1-0 up but we weren't and then two goals conceded."

The loss to City leaves Liverpool in sixth position in the Premier League standings, four points off Chelsea in fifth. There is a good chance that a fifth-placed finish will be enough to secure Champions League qualification for next season.
