The match, which kicked off at 4pm under the refereeing of Andrew Madley, saw Nottingham Forest capitalize on their opportunities with clinical precision. Brazilian defender Murillo opened the scoring early, followed by strikes from midfielder Nicolo Savona and captain Morgan Gibbs-White, who sealed the victory with a composed finish.
Despite dominating possession—reaching peaks of 78% in the first half and 75% overall—Liverpool failed to convert their territorial advantage into goals, highlighting ongoing concerns over their attacking efficiency.
This result extends Liverpool's winless streak in the league to three matches, following a 3-0 defeat to Manchester City on November 9. Nottingham Forest, buoyed by the triumph, climb to a more secure mid-table position, showcasing their resilience under manager Nuno EspÃrito Santo. For Liverpool, the loss intensifies pressure on head coach Arne Slot, with fans voicing frustration amid a turbulent campaign that has seen the team concede 12 goals in their last five outings.
Liverpool will look to regroup quickly, with their next fixture against a resurgent Tottenham Hotspur on December 1. As the Premier League season intensifies, this defeat serves as a stark reminder of the fine margins separating contenders from challengers.
