Sky Sports faced backlash from viewers on Wednesday during Liverpool's Carabao Cup clash with Chelsea due to unusual on-screen updates. The broadcaster drew frustration from fans at home for displaying on-screen goal alerts and commentary updates from the Scottish Premiership fixture between Rangers and Hearts, which viewers argued disrupted their coverage of the fourth-round cup tie.
