"In what many are calling a costly moment of poor decision-making, Carragher described Hannibal's actions as brain-dead, insisting it wasn't just a mistake but a moment that showed a lack of awareness and sentencing Burnley to defeat. The controversy came in injury time, following a handball by Hannibal inside the Burnley penalty area. Mohamed Salah stepped up and converted the spot kick, securing a 10 win for Liverpool."
"Carragher was blunt, this was no accident born out of bad luck, he saw it as a moment of carelessness. Carragher said that Burnley's player quite simply lost control of his limbs at a critical moment. Burnley don't deserve that,' Carragher said on commentary for Sky Sports, as reported by the Daily Mail. The pundit labelled Hannibal's decision as brain dead'. It's a moment of madness! What is he doing?'"
"Beyond just the handball itself, Carragher took aim at how neither side (Liverpool or Burnley) produced a convincing performance overall.

Hannibal Mejbri committed a handball in injury time inside the Burnley penalty area, allowing Mohamed Salah to convert the resulting spot kick and secure a 1-0 Liverpool win. Jamie Carragher strongly criticized Mejbri, calling the action brain-dead and describing it as careless rather than accidental. The match had been low on cutting chances, with Liverpool dominating possession but lacking sharpness and cohesion until the decisive moment. Burnley's defensive five had largely held firm, but the late misjudgment overturned a disciplined display and proved costly for the visitors.
