Nottingham Forest pulled off a massive upset at Anfield, beating Liverpool 3-0 and boosting their survival hopes. This win marks Forest's second consecutive victory at Liverpool's home ground, a feat they last achieved 62 years ago.

Liverpool, the defending champions, had a promising start, pushing for an early lead within the first 10 minutes. However, their momentum didn't translate into goals, and Forest capitalized on Liverpool's mistakes. Murillo opened the scoring in the 33rd minute, followed by Nicolo Savona's goal just 39 seconds into the second half. Morgan Gibbs-White sealed the win with a third goal in the 78th minute.

This defeat drops Liverpool to 11th in the table, eight points behind leaders Arsenal. Forest, on the other hand, moves out of the relegation zone, sitting 16th with 12 points. The loss piles pressure on Liverpool manager Arne Slot, who has seen his team struggle this season.

A thrilling attack ended with Cody Gakpo finding Alexis Mac Allister in a great goalscoring position, but Elliot Anderson's incredible block kept Liverpool at bay, leaving the Anfield crowd stunned.

Liverpool was dominating the early stages, with Mohamed Salah causing chaos with his runs. He beat multiple Forest players before finding Milos Kerkez, who unfortunately volleyed over the bar.

Nottingham Forest took the lead against Liverpool despite the Reds' early pressure. The Liverpool defense struggled to clear a corner, and Murillo seized the opportunity, scoring with a calm finish into the corner.

Igor Jesus thought he'd doubled Forest's lead, volleying into the corner after working a yard in the box. However, his celebration was short-lived as the goal was ruled out for handball.

The second half was expected to be a Liverpool onslaught, but Nottingham Forest shocked everyone by doubling their lead. Neco Williams, a former Liverpool player, played a crucial role in the build-up, cutting the ball back for Nicolo Savona, who scored a stunning goal, sweeping the ball into the roof of the net.

Arne Slot turned to his bench, introducing Hugo Ekitike in a bid to turn the game around. However, Liverpool's struggles continued, and they were punished by Nottingham Forest 12 minutes from time.

Liverpool's attackers failed to create clear chances, and their lack of cohesion was exposed. The Reds' desperation grew, but Forest's defense held strong, sealing their 3-0 win.
