TNT SPORTS commentators and fans alike were left bemused after the officials in the Merseyside derby made a rarely-seen decision.
As the game was coming to a close the fourth official readied his board to indicate how much time would be added on.
Officials in the Merseyside derby only added nine minutes of added time after initially indicating there would be ten
But despite initially preparing to show ten minutes of additional time, Thomas Bramall seemed to change his mind.
He changed the board and ultimately only added on nine minutes to the end of the second half.
TNT Sports’ lead commentator Darren Fletcher couldn’t understand the decision and seemed puzzled as to how it had happened.
But Everton fans may be glad that they didn’t have to endure more added time as Liverpool doubled their lead in the 97th minute.
The Reds wound up 2-0 winners at Anfield thanks to a Mohamed Salah brace.
And it was an action packed affair as would be expected from the historically feisty fixture.
It lived up to its reputation for the most red cards in a Premier League fixture in history when Ashley Young was given his marching orders in the first half.
Before Liverpool finally broke the deadlock in the 75th minute from a Salah penalty.

While Everton fans don’t have much to complain about with Young’s dismissal they have been left fuming with referee Craig Pawson’s decision not to send off Ibrahim Konate.
The Liverpool centre-back escaped a second yellow card when he fouled Toffees striker Beto before being immediately hooked by a cautious Jurgen Klopp.
Fans were quick to point what they felt was a huge mistake and one even went as far as saying that the game was rigged.
