Alexander Isak tried to give his shirt to a young Liverpool fan… but it was snatched away (Photo: TNT Sports) Football fans were left furious after Alexander Isak attempted to give his Liverpool shirt to a young supporter… only for an adult to snatch it away from him. The incident occurred at Anfield after Liverpool fought back to draw 2-2 with Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Saturday. It was another tough game for new Reds manager Andoni Iraola, who watched his side fall behind twice, but goals from Isak and Victor Munoz salvaged a point. After the match, the Sweden striker was interviewed on the pitch by TNT Sports before heading back down the Anfield tunnel, where a number of fans were waiting.

TV cameras picked up Isak removing his prized No.9 shirt and handing it up to an excited kid – only for an older fan to grab it instead, yanking it away for himself. Isak himself appeared to be stunned by the incident, as the fan walked away grinning to himself, leaving the young man empty-handed and visibly upset. Thankfully, justice prevailed, as a number of supporters and stewards quickly called out the shirt thief, and after a brief back-and-forth, the shirt was handed back to its intended recipient.
