"Forest striker Igor Jesus had the ball in the net moments later before it was disallowed for a handball, in what was the first of the home side's struggles to reclaim control of the game. It got worse for Liverpool straight after the restart as Nicolò Savona got ahead of Cody Gakpo to score, following a run of poor defending from the home side inside the box."
"The introductions of Hugo Ekitike and Federico Chiesa did little to inspire a disjointed team, as Sean Dyche's side began to sit deep and pick their moment to go forward on the counterattack. They eventually put the game out of reach when Morgan Gibbs-White finished past goalkeeper Alisson from a cross that found its way to him."
Nottingham Forest defeated Liverpool 3-0 at Anfield, with Murillo opening the scoring from an Elliot Anderson corner and officials ruling Alisson's view unobstructed by Dan Ndoye. Igor Jesus had a goal disallowed for handball before Nicolò Savona exploited poor defending after the restart to double the lead. Substitutes Hugo Ekitike and Federico Chiesa failed to change the game's momentum as Forest sat deep and countered, later sealing victory when Morgan Gibbs-White finished from a cross. Liverpool struggled with set pieces, second balls and physicality, though Dominik Szoboszlai showed promise filling in at right back.
