Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool LIVE!
A second-half header from substitute Diogo Jota earned Liverpool a 1-1 draw at marvelous rivals Nottingham Forest on Tuesday, keeping the Premier League leaders six points adrift at the top of the table.
High-flying Forest, who are enjoying a remarkable season after narrowly avoiding relegation last season, took the lead in an electric atmosphere at the City Ground, striker Chris Wood, with 8 minutes on the clock.
Liverpool, whose only league defeat this season prior to their trip to the East Midlands came against Forest in September, looked to be heading for another humbling before Jota headed home a 66th-minute equaliser from a corner.
Jota and Mohamed Salah went close to securing victory for Liverpool late on but found home goalkeeper Matz Sels in inspired form. Instead, the draw ensured Arne Slot’s team sit six points above second-placed Forest, who have played a game more. Read the game LIVE below with our dedicated match blog!
