""If you score in the last minute, there's always an element of luck, but so many times this season, we've experienced the opposite," Slot told Sky Sports. "A draw would have been a fairer result than a win for us. "If we rely on one player, then things are not good, but that is not the case. Someone else has to do the job."
""The first half was difficult because Forest played well, and they have good players. "I wanted more control over their midfield. I highlighted how well they played, but we lost every ball. The only part of the game was defending inside the box. We had to defend a lot of set pieces. We stayed in the game.""
Alexis Mac Allister scored a 97th-minute winner to give Liverpool a 1-0 victory over Nottingham Forest after a previously disallowed goal. The 96:10 strike was Liverpool's fourth-latest winning goal in Premier League history and their 48th winning goal scored in the 90th minute or later, at least 12 more than any other club. Forest dominated the first half with 12 attempts to Liverpool's two off-target shots, while three of Liverpool's four on-target efforts arrived from the 89th minute onwards. Arne Slot said a draw would have been fairer, lamented midfield control and praised defensive resilience. Florian Wirtz was replaced in the matchday squad by Curtis Jones after being deemed unfit.
