Callum Hudson-Odoi’s second-half strike secured a historic 1-0 win for Nottingham Forest at Anfield, their first victory there since 1969.
The result ends Liverpool’s flawless start under new manager Arne Slot.
The game started with Liverpool dominating possession and creating the better chances.
Luis Diaz hit the post in the first half, while Matz Sels made several crucial saves to deny the hosts.
Forest grew in confidence after the break and were rewarded for their attacking intent when Hudson-Odoi curled in a superb winner.
Forest’s Flying Start
Nuno Espirito Santo’s Forest side has been a revelation this season, remaining unbeaten in their first four Premier League games.
Their resolute first-half performance frustrated Liverpool, and their brave substitutions in the second paid dividends.
Hudson-Odoi’s introduction proved decisive as he cut in from the left and fired an unstoppable shot past Alisson.
Frustration for Liverpool
Despite an impressive start under Slot, Liverpool couldn’t find a way past a stubborn Forest defense.
They created several chances but lacked the clinical edge to break the deadlock. The loss will be a reality check for the Reds, who will need to regroup and rediscover their winning formula in the upcoming fixtures.
