Liverpool were stunned 3–0 at Anfield by a ruthless Nottingham Forest side on Saturday evening, as the visitors delivered one of the most surprising results of the Premier League season. The home supporters watched in disbelief as Forest punished defensive mistakes and controlled key moments of the match.
Forest opened the scoring in the 33rd minute through Murillo, who finished calmly after Liverpool failed to deal with a set-piece situation. The goal shifted momentum heavily in favour of the visitors, while Liverpool struggled to produce any real threat despite early possession.
Just moments into the second half, N. Savona doubled Forest’s lead with a sharp counterattacking move that exposed Liverpool’s defensive frailties. The quick strike after the break stunned the hosts and forced Liverpool into desperate but uncoordinated attempts to respond.
Morgan Gibbs-White sealed the victory in the 78th minute, converting from close range after another lapse at the back. Tension grew for Liverpool as Federico Chiesa picked up a late yellow card during an argument, reflecting the frustration on the pitch.
The defeat leaves Liverpool sitting 11th in the Premier League table with 18 points from 12 matches, while Forest move up to 16th as they battle to push further from the relegation zone. The result raises fresh concerns about Liverpool’s inconsistency, while offering Forest a major confidence boost heading into their next fixtures.
