FANS spotted a major blunder with Sky Sports’ coverage of Newcastle vs Liverpool.
And many raged “sort it out” as the error went unchecked for several minutes.
Newcastle welcomed Liverpool to St James’ Park looking for revenge after last season’s double defeats.
The game got off to a feisty start, with Trent Alexander-Arnold lucky to not receive two quick-fire yellow cards.
Anthony Gordon then fired Newcastle ahead in the 25th minute.
And Virgil van Dijk was then shown a straight red card moments later for a foul on Alexander Isak.
