Viewers of Match of the Day were left issuing complaints at the weekend.

Gabby Logan returned to the BBC studio on Saturday (November 7), as highlights of the day's Premier League matches were played. She was joined by Steph Houghton and Danny Murphy.

The team covered five matches, including the top two teams in the Premier League table. Champions Arsenal welcomed Hull to the Emirates, while Manchester City faced a trip to Nottingham Forest. Elsewhere, Spurs travelled to Leeds, while Fulham hosted Newcastle. Action from Friday night's game, which saw Coventry manager Frank Lampard return to his former club Everton, was also played.

As they tuned into the programme, it didn't take long for viewers to notice an issue with the coverage. A number of football fans complained about the show not being in sync with the sound on BBC One.

"Is my tele broke or am I going mad, is all the speech out of sync with the faces on Match of the Day?" a confused fan asked on X. Another added: "Think they have fixed it now, it was just out but unnerving."

A third said: "I thought it was my TV, switched channel about 3 times to see if I could sort it!" Someone else commented: "Thank f*** for that - I've had the telly off at the mains, broadband off, Sky off... and it turns out it's not just me."

The confusion continued, as another viewer wrote: "Glad it's not just me. Thought I'd had one too many." Someone else shared: "Came here looking for this - sound and pic definitely not in sync. Quite disconcerting."

A seventh viewer said: "Difficult watching #MOTD the words are out of sync with their mouths. Have they just fixed it as Guy Mowbray's voice just jumped. I'm just speaking out loud here. Carry on."

It seems as though the issue was quickly resolved, with fans soon able to enjoy the rest of the show.

The Mirror has contacted the BBC for comment.

Speaking about Nottingham Forest's win over Manchester City later in the show, Gabby said: "That was a great game, wasn't it? It has been a tough start for Oliver Glasner's side, but they didn't look like a team that was low on confidence."

Danny replied: "They didn't. It was a wonderful all-round performance. There was endeavour without the ball, quality with it, and [the] end product that [Liam] Delap was talking about there.

"They have actually been playing quite well and their points tally doesn't reflect the level of their performances, but I think this could be a huge turning point for Glasner and his players. The place was rocking, the fans were back on board, and, as I said, the level of the performance all round, collectively and individually, was top draw."
