Sunday’s Premier League clash between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest will be remembered for Alexis Mac Allister’s 97th-minute winner — but one moment in the build-up stole the spotlight online.

After a tense 90 minutes and a previously disallowed goal earlier in stoppage time, Mac Allister eventually delivered the dramatic strike to snatch a 1-0 victory for the Reds deep into added time.

Konaté’s Celebration Stole the Show

What really caught the attention of cameras and fans alike was how Ibrahima Konaté reacted almost instantly before the winning goal was officially confirmed.

In a moment that perfectly summed up the emotional roller coaster of the game, the towering French defender was filmed unleashing an impromptu celebration — complete with a cartwheel — as his teammates briefly thought Mac Allister had scored.

The goal was initially ruled out after a VAR check for handball in the build-up, but Konaté’s joy was impossible to contain in that split second — and the footage quickly went viral.

From Cartwheels to Triumph

Once Mac Allister’s late winner did officially stand after a further VAR review, Konaté’s reaction continued to draw admiration from supporters. He didn’t just celebrate with his teammates — he climbed onto the advertising boards, pumped his fist toward the Kop end, and embraced the Argentine midfielder in relief and jubilation.

It was a raw and heartfelt display that reminded fans exactly how much these tight, dramatic wins mean to the players on the pitch — especially in a season where every point feels precious.

More Than Just a Dance Move

For Konaté, who has faced criticism and questions over his form at times this season, this was more than a spontaneous celebration — it was a statement. His infectious energy and unmistakable passion for Liverpool shone through in a moment that will be replayed again and again by supporters.

Whether you loved the cartwheel or laughed at the sheer enthusiasm, one thing’s for sure — this is a celebration Liverpool fans won’t forget anytime soon.
