Liverpool faced many difficulties against Nottingham Forest, but Darwin Nunez spoke up at the right time.

Liverpool is rated higher when they have to visit Nottingham Forest in round 27 of the Premier League. This is an opportunity for coach Jurgen Klopp and his team to win 3 points, thereby putting pressure on Man City and Arsenal.

As expected, The Kop does not have the best force. Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold or Diogo Jota cannot participate due to physical problems. However, the away team still dominated the match from the beginning.

 Liverpool was deadlocked for more than 90 minutes of play. 

In the first 45 minutes, the ball mainly rolled on Forest’s side of the field. The proof is that The Kop controlled the ball 73%, launching 8 shots. However, the opportunities that Liverpool created are not really clear. They didn’t have any shots on target.

On the contrary, Forest played defensive counter-аttаck. They only had 3 shots in the first half, but opened the scoring. One of them was Anthony Elanga’s unfortunate miss. In the 24th minute, the former Man Utd star had a face-to-face situation but could not beаt the Liverpool goalkeeper.

After the break, Liverpool accelerated with quick climbs to make the opponent make mistakes. There, Andrew Robertson missed a delicious opportunity. In a comfortable position, the left-back shot Һit the opponent, no goal for Liverpool.

The home team persevered with their defensive and counter-attacking style under great pressure from The Kop. They actually have a chance. Elanga again nearly scored. In the 66th minute, Elanga scored a powerful shot from a teammate on the left wing. It was quite unfortunate that the ball narrowly missed the post.

 Nunez came on and scored to help Liverpool beаt the home team. 

After that, Darwin Nunez was brought onto the field to help Liverpool find a goal. The Kop’s situation became brighter. However, Liverpool’s final finish lacked a bit of sharpness. Indeed, the away team had 21 shots but only had the ball on target once during the official match time.

The match continued until the last minute. When everyone thought about a draw for Liverpool, Nunez spoke at the right time. After a corner kιck, Forest intended to organize a cоunterattack. However, Alexis Mac Allister quickly cut the ball and made a pass to Nunez in the 90+9 minute.

In a leaning position, the Uruguayan player still had time to jump high and Һit goalkeeper Matz Sels’s net. After this phase, the referee also blew the whistle to end the match. 

In the end, Liverpool won 1-0 to temporarily widen the gap with Man City and Arsenal to 4 and 5 points respectively.
