The match moved into the second half when Liverpool led 2-1 thanks to a controversial goal from Marcos Llorente at the end of the first half.

As Liverpool attacked, the team earned a foul in the opponent's penalty area, and at that moment, Fletcher's chair suddenly broke. The commentator couldn't help but laugh and noted that a similar incident had happened to his colleague earlier in the game.

“My chair also broke, Ally!”

“We have chairs that break, yours in the first half, and mine in the second.”

Fletcher laughed, trying to find the positive in this incident.

Fans noticed McCoist's chair adventure earlier in the game, and some shared their impressions on social media.

One Liverpool fan wrote: “I can't believe Ally McCoist fell out of his chair during commentary.”

Another fan pointed out: “Ally McCoist loves Mohamed Salah so much that he fell out of his chair.”

Another fan joked about the commentator's Scottish roots: “Ally McCoist falls out of his chair, probably too much Irn-Bru.”

Despite the funny incident, the main focus remained on the match. Liverpool players scored two goals in the first six minutes, thanks to Andy Robertson and Mohamed Salah.
