Liverpool's six-game winning streak was brutally cut short as Nottingham Forest handed the Reds a 3-0 thrashing at Anfield. The visitors' impressive display, marked by goals from Murillo, Nicolo Savona, and Morgan Gibbs-White, condemned Liverpool to their sixth defeat in seven Premier League games.
The home team's struggles began early on, as Forest's attacking line caused significant trouble for the Liverpool backline. Despite numerous attempts to break the visitors' grip on the game, it was not until the 65th minute that Reds fans were granted a fleeting glimmer of hope with a Trent Alexander-Arnold corner kick that somehow deflected off the post.
However, this respite would prove short-lived as Forest continued to assert their dominance. On the hour mark, Nottingham Forest doubled their lead through Morgan Gibbs-White's clinical finish after a fine run into the box.
Just before halftime, the visitors took control of the match with a third goal from Nicolo Savona in the 55th minute, which proved to be the decisive blow for Liverpool. The Reds' hopes were further extinguished when Trent Alexander-Arnold was sent off late on, leaving his side to play out the final minutes with ten men.
As it turned out, the home team's fate was sealed long before Alexander-Arnold's red card. With Forest dominating possession and creating numerous scoring opportunities throughout the match, they had Liverpool firmly on the back foot from an early stage.
