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.

! Like, I know teams can have off days, but this was just a complete thrashing 
. Forest seemed so organized and in sync, it was like they were reading the Reds' moves before they even happened 
. And that corner kick from Trent Alexander-Arnold? What was he thinking?! 
It's not like he meant to deflect it off the post... anyway, big mistake! 
Then, to add insult to injury, Alexander-Arnold gets sent off in the last minute? That's just cruel 
. I'm just hoping Klopp can regroup and turn this around soon, 'cause six defeats in seven games is not a good look 
.
that was a huge turning point i think forest just played way better than us all around 
morgan gibs white and savona were on fire 
lol what did we do wrong? 
liverpool's defense has been all over the shop lately and it's hard to see where they're going wrong with trent's form and alisson's error rate being major concerns... hope pep gets them sorted ASAP 
trent alexander-arnold getting sent off was just the icing on the cake, what a way to lose games 
. Still, six defeats in seven Premier League games? That's not good for anyone... 
forest played super well, especially with savona coming on and scoring a goal 
murillo was also a threat all game long, lfc needs to work on their teamwork and communication 
. trent alexander-arnold getting sent off late on didn't help matters either... but at this point, i'm more worried about liverpool's chances of making the playoffs this season
