One unlucky Liverpool supporter was left with egg on their face as an ill-judged tweet about RB Leipzig’s new hero Tyler Adams was mocked by the German club.
Adams, the United States international, scored the winning goal two minutes from time in Leipzig’s Champions League quarter-final clash vs Atletico Madrid.
His strike, which deflected past Jan Oblak, was the all-important deciding goal after Joao Felix’s penalty had earlier cancelled out Dani Olmo’s opener.

It secured Leipzig their place in a first ever Champions League semi-final – a feat all the more impressive as it comes only 11 years after they were founded.
And Adams goal was all the more timely as it left an unfortunate Reds fan with egg on their face (or maybe just on their social media profile).
Twitter user @HoeverTime – clearly named after Liverpool starlet Ki-Jana Hoever – was frustrated that Adams was introduced from the bench after 72 minutes – and they made their feelings known on the social media platform.
“Leipzig need a goal and they bring on adams ffs [sic],” wrote the angry Liverpool supporter.
But the tweet aged poorly and even Leipzig themselves sought to make fun of @HoeverTime – by quote-tweeting the post to their nearly 100,000 followers, with a mocking kiss emoji attached.
Who could have guessed it? Football managers actually know stuff about football, and random Twitter users don’t know anything.
Well worth keeping that in mind @HoeverTime, unless you are happy being embarrassed on a global social media platform any time there’s a match on!
