Alexis Mac Allister scored a stoppage-time goal in the 97th minute to secure a 1-0 win for Liverpool over Nottingham Forest, following a VAR-ruled-out earlier effort. The victory, despite Liverpool’s poor performance and Forest’s dominance, lifted the Reds to sixth in the Premier League with 45 points, level with Chelsea and Manchester United. Manager Arne Slot praised Mac Allister’s return to form and the team’s resilience after a string of bad luck, while Forest’s new boss Vitor Pereira expressed confidence in his side’s fight to avoid relegation.
