A goal from Darwin Nunez at the end of added time allowed Liverpool to win at the last minute in Nottingham (0-1). The Reds will approach their clash against Man City as leaders.
We will only know at the end of the season, but we will have to remember this victory for Liverpool at Nottingham Forest, which could weigh heavily in the title race. In small form, the Reds snatched a miraculous victory, in the ninth of eight minutes of added time, on a header from Darwin Nunez.
Previously, Jurgen Klopp’s men had stumbled against the Nottingham defense, with a terrifying statistic: 21 shots… only 1 on target, before Nunez’s winning header. Most of the Reds’ strikes had been blocked by the Forest defenders, and the only time Matz Sels had trembled was on a first header from Nunez blocked by one of his teammates, Murillo (90th + 5).
Liverpool will host City as leaders
There were mitigating circumstances for Liverpool, who are playing a series of matches at the moment, with a very limited and very rejuvenated squad due to numerous injuries (Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Alcantara, Jones, Gravenberch, Salah, etc.). And it was finally a returning player, Nunez, who victoriously cut this cross from Alexis Mac Allister (0-1, 90th + 9).
This success is fortunate, because Nottingham had the best opportunities of the match, and Caomhin Kelleher once again achieved a small miracle in front of Anthony Elanga (25th). And Liverpool therefore avoids dropping two points one week before the clash against Manchester City at Anfield. A meeting that the Reds will approach as leaders.
