Football fans tuning into the Carabao Cup match between Liverpool and Chelsea on Sky Sports expressed confusion regarding an unexpected feature on the broadcast. Liverpool advanced to the quarter-finals after winning a penalty shootout following a 1-1 draw.
Morgan Rogers scored a penalty in the 40th minute to put his side ahead, while Cody Gakpo equalised from the spot right before half-time.
However, a specific element on the television coverage annoyed several supporters. Highlights from a Scottish Premiership fixture between Rangers and Hearts occasionally appeared in the corner of the display. Whenever a goal was scored in that match, which finished in a 2-2 draw, it was shown on screen.
This left various fans bewildered, especially since that fixture had no bearing on the Carabao Cup. Supporters shared their complaints on social media, with one individual posting, "Why are Sky showing Scottish football highlights during Liverpool v Chelsea?"
Another person stated, "Missed another Liverpool attack as @SkySports blocking half the screen showing me a Scottish goal. Why do they think anyone wants this?"
A third viewer wrote, "Sorry but there is no reason for goals from the Scottish Prem blocking my screen."
Despite the pop-up highlights in the screen corner, supporters did not miss any major action from Anfield as Liverpool secured their spot in the next round. They are scheduled to play Bournemouth in the quarter-finals next month.
