Nottingham Forest 1-1 Liverpool: Jota snatched a draw for the Premier League leaders after Chris Wood had home fans dreaming early on
Diogo Jota was disappointed to only get a draw with Nottingham Forest. Here’s his reaction
What an exhibition and forest have shown once again that they are valid this season. Here are the two goals
And that’s all! What a cracking game. The forest and goalkeeper Matz Sels in particular, did well in enduring at the moment and repell Liverpool’s attack.
Chris Wood’s early purpose had a forest before Jota knows the bank to match. Liverpool may have won him, but the forest deserved a draw. I think any of the parties will be satisfied with this raffle.
Tsimikas curls in a loose kick, but Murillo rises to be clear. The forest tries to counteract, however, Awoniyi’s touch is heavy and the possibility escapes.
Another brillaint save by Sels! He’s been class in this second half. Gakpo shoots, the shot takes a slight deflection but Sels at fullstretch to his left tips the ball wide. Superb.
He clarifies the corner.
The city ground didn’t shy away from making a song tonight: it’s one of the most productive atmospheres in the Premier League.
Menawhile, Liverpool showed why they are an appearance of the middle of the moment, but the forest clung effectively at this time.
Forest holding on now! Superb corner curled in and it’s only half-flapped by Sels, straight to Salah who smashes the ball at goal but Aina is on the post to brilliantly stick out a right leg and block it clear. That looked in!
The ball then comes to Salah again in the box but it’s over the bar! Great drama.
Triple sub by Forest and they go to a back three. Taiwo Awoniyi, Alex Moreno and Morato on for Wood, Gibbs-White and Williams.
Seven minutes of extra time
Liverpool pressing around the edge of the Forest box but the blocks stop any sort of ball going in. Williams then blocks a Jones ball out for a corner.
Tsimikas takes it but Murillo heads it clear. Worked back in and Salah curls a shot with his left foot but Sels tips it over the bar. Good save.
Salts has occupied the return while Alexander-Arnold passes a ball to Salah who is in the goal, however, his touch is heavy and the salts are temporarily extinguished and prevents the shooting from coming.
Then at the other end it’s close for Forest! Aina fizzes a ball across the face of goal, it onyl needs a touch to turn it in but no one there. A couple of long throw=ins follow but Liverpool’s defence deal with it.
It turns out that Diogo Jota likes fairy tales. The Nottingham forest approached a record club of the seventh victory of the consecutive league and a first double in Liverpool since 1963 in a noisy environment of Midlands of the East Midlands.
More pertinently, had Chris Wood’s early strike at a jubilant City Ground steered Forest to a famous success, they would, without fear of ridicule, be able to call themselves credible title contenders, despite having only secured their survival on the final day of last season.
Unfortunately, nine years ago, Leicester, possibly he would continue without being distrustful, after Jota, with his first touch after leaving the bank, earned Liverpool a valuable draw to maintain the merit of six points of his team in the More sensible of the Premier League.
