A Liverpool fan has been savaged on social media after snatching Alexander Isak's shirt from a child following the Anfield club's 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

Goalscorer Isak was making his way towards the tunnel when he spotted a young fan in the stands. The Swede removed his shirt before offering it to the supporter.

However, as he made the move to hand over the jersey, an older fan swiped the shirt from the youngster's grasp, taking Isak aback.

The fan was then seen grinning widely as he made for a hasty exit while the youngster looked distraught, holding out an exasperated hand.

However, onlookers lambasted the individual for the shameless act, and he was later seen giving the shirt to its intended recipient.

Footage of the incident has gone viral online, with rival fans offering a scathing verdict.

'Don’t these morons realize there are cameras everywhere these days?' one user said on X.

'Grown man steaming a sweaty kit off a child… should be banned from entering Anfield again,' said another.

'Glad the kid got it back, infuriating that grown men act like this.'

Others credited the bystanders for intervening.

'Credit to the guys who called him out causing him to give it to the boy,' one fan said.

'Fair play to Isak for seeing that and making sure the scruff gave it back. How embarrassing…'

It is not the first time an adult spectator has sought to steal prized memorabilia from a child at a sporting event. In April, Max Quinn, a baseball fan, was branded 'pathetic' after stealing a ball from an 11-year-old girl.

Quinn attempted to catch a ball headed for the stands but botched his attempt, leading the ball to squirm out of his hands and bounce towards a young girl, Evelyn.

She raced down the steps to try and grab it and take home a memorable souvenir, only for Quinn to fumble around on the floor alongside her and grab it before she had the chance.

Quinn then lifted it into the air in an embarrassing celebration before returning to his seat, leaving the girl devastated.

A clip of the incident quickly went viral and caused fury on social media, with baseball fans labelling the man 'pathetic'. He later publicly apologised for his behaviour.

Elsewhere, an elderly ice hockey fan was ejected from an NHL game after stealing a puck from a child.

In January 2025, the man was threatened by the child's mother  – who pulled her arm back, gesturing to punch him – following the heartless act.

Later, an ice hockey player's girlfriend delivered a separate puck to the youngster.

It was a frustrating afternoon for Liverpool fans, as Iraola's side twice went behind to Oliver Glasner's visitors – who were good value for their point at Anfield.

Iraola was left aggrieved by a fourth-official fumble that cost his team a goal as they could only manage another draw in what has been a lacklustre start to the season.

New signing Victor Munoz equalised after Forest had twice led through Dan Ndoye and a Morgan Gibbs-White penalty, with Isak also opening his account for the campaign.

But Iraola thought the second Forest goal was unfair given he was unable to make a substitution for three minutes due to the fourth official’s electric board not working and, when the changes should have occurred, the away team took a quick throw-in that led to the penalty being awarded.

‘I will analyse the penalty, but this cannot be a professional fourth official,’ he said.

‘It cannot take… I don’t know, three minutes (for him to ready the board). We’ve already given the subs’ numbers two or three minutes before.

‘I was already angry because in the previous stoppage we couldn’t make (the triple sub), and before the throw-in I said, “OK we’ll do it now”. But I don’t know (what happened).

‘They will have to explain it, but it has taken ages to not prepare two boards.’
