Liverpool steals late victory at Nottingham Forest

Struggling performances on both sides

Liverpool struggled throughout the match, lacking creativity and firepower, especially after losing forward Florian Wirtz to an injury during the warm-up. Nottingham Forest, in their first league game under new manager Vitor Pereira, also struggled to create meaningful chances during a dull 90 minutes.

Last-minute drama

Mac Allister initially had a goal ruled out after a VAR check for handball, but he made amends by rifling home a rebound in the 97th minute to snatch the win for Liverpool.

Implications for the table

With the victory, Liverpool sit sixth on 45 points, level with Chelsea and Manchester United in fourth and fifth. Forest remain 17th on 27 points, just two points above the relegation zone.
