Liverpool supporters in hysterics during their FA Cup clash against Norwich this week after his voice seemed to break at the worst possible time.The England international midfielder started the fixture on Wednesday (March 2) - as did Japan forward Minamino who scored both home goals to send them into the quarter-finals.However, that form didn't mean that Henderson would choose not to shout instruction to his colleague - but that backfired as his voice broke.A fan, who happened to be filming at the time, caught many around him breaking out in laughter at their skipper - who walked away looking disappointed as Minamino passed to James Milner.In an uncharacteristically high-pitch voice, the 27-year-old screamed: "TAKI, TAKI!"Despite a positive start from Norwich, they were unable to equalise following Minamino's double having got back into the game late on through Lukas Rupp.Jurgen Klopp said of his forward after the match: "His impression was obvious with scoring two goals and not only that – he had a lot more top, top football moments.

Borussia Dortmund star Jude Bellingham is said to have made a decision over his future at the club amid ongoing links to Premier League rivals Manchester United and Liverpool.The former Birmingham City prodigy has been among the star performers under Marco Rose this season - but his frustrations have at times got the better of him with their chances of silverware looking worse than bleak.That has led to further rumours that the 18-year-old could push for a move away from the club in the summer, with Dortmund known for making huge profits after nurturing talent.However, the latest update suggests that those interested could be blocked in any attempts to sign the England midfielder this summer - as he plans to stay put.The Metro reports that Bellingham, who has six goals and 10 assists so far this season in all competitions, will stay at Dortmund for at least one more full season.Bellingham is under contract at the club until the summer of 2025, and looks to be keen on continuing his development in Germany until at least June of 2023.In what has been an underwhelming season, Dortmund lost in the DFL-Supercup to Bayern Munich, were knocked out of the DFB Cup by St. Pauli, beaten in the Europa League by Rangers and have fallen eight points behind the Bundesliga leaders.Who should Bellingham chose to join in the Premier League?

Sky Sports issued an apology to David Goodwillie as they corrected an earlier comment where they called him a 'racist' instead of a 'rapist'.Goodwillie has been at the centre of a Scottish football storm in recent weeks.The 32-year-old was ordered to pay a woman £100,000 in compensation by a judge in a civil court case in 2017 after they ruled that he had raped her six years previously.The former Scotland international, who has three caps for his country, was charged with rape in 2011 alongside then team-mate David Robertson but he was not criminally prosecuted.Five years later the woman took civil action against the pair and the judged ruled that Goodwillie had committed rape.As per civil law, the case was tried on the balance of probabilities and wasn't impacted by the lack of evidence which prevented a criminal case from going ahead.He continued his football career with Clyde before joining Raith Rovers in January, but they have sent him back on loan to his former club following public backlash to his signing.As Sky Sports covered the latest update on Wednesday, Goodwillie was incorrectly referred to as a racist.Later in the day a Sky Sports News presenter said: "We would like to issue an apology to Mr Goodwillie."A little earlier this evening, in error, we reported that he had been ruled to be a racist in a civil case in 2017."The ruling in question was actually that Goodwillie was ruled to be a rapist in that case."We apologise for the error in reporting."Goodwillie's long-term future hangs in the balance as Raith were forced to quickly make a U-turn on their decision to sign him.Two directors of the Scottish Championship side resigned, while their women's team severed all ties with the club.They subsequently said
