Music playback using a pre-recorded song

Fans raised concerns on social media on Wednesday night after noticing an issue with Sky Sports before the Merseyside derby at Anfield. Liverpool defeated Everton 1-0 with a goal from Diogo Jota, edging closer to winning the Premier League.

Before the match, viewers at home observed that the sound from Sky Sports seemed louder and out of sync during Liverpool's anthem, You'll Never Walk Alone. Some fans speculated that Sky Sports used a pre-recorded version to enhance the atmosphere for the game.

Several fans questioned whether Sky Sports had played a pre-recorded version of the anthem instead of the live rendition from Anfield. The atmosphere intensified when Jota scored, despite earlier concerns about the broadcast.

During the game, Everton's James Tarkowski narrowly avoided a red card for a challenge on Alexis Mac Allister. Despite Everton's efforts, Liverpool secured the win with Jota's goal in the 57th minute, extending their lead in the league.

Sky Sports pundits Jamie Carragher and Duncan Ferguson agreed that Tarkowski should have been sent off. The victory put Liverpool 12 points ahead of Arsenal in the league standings with eight games remaining.
