"Carnage would be an understatement to describe the closing moments of Liverpool's victory at the City Ground, but it would not be over the top to call the win a heist - one that puts Arne Slot's side firmly in the Champions League hunt. The fact that Nottingham Forest boss Vitor Pereira said he was "angry with football" summed it up. Forest did not deserve to lose."
""My emotions were emotions of happiness and relief because this is the first time I have to do a different post match press conference," said Slot. "We did not play a good game. We have been on the wrong side of the score after a good performance too many times. "We got more than we deserved. A draw would have been a fair result. We needed to be on the right side of things once in a while. It felt we have been lucky."
Liverpool snatched a last-gasp victory at Nottingham Forest, with Alexis Mac Allister scoring in the 97th minute to win the match. Nottingham Forest dominated large parts of the game and created the better chances, prompting home fans to taunt manager Arne Slot and leaving Vitor Pereira saying he was "angry with football." Liverpool were resilient rather than expansive, and the result moved them level on points with Chelsea and Manchester United in the race for a top-four spot. Slot accepted the win felt fortunate and acknowledged his team did not play well. Credit was given to Mac Allister for being in the right place at the decisive moment.
