Nottingham Forest-Liverpool LIVE!
Substitute Diogo Jota’s second-half header earned Liverpool a battling 1-1 draw with surprise title rivals Nottingham Forest on Tuesday, keeping the Premier League leaders six points clear at the top of the standings.
The high-flying Forest, who are enjoying a remarkable season after narrowly avoiding relegation last season, took the lead in an electric City Ground atmosphere, striker Chris Wood, with 8 minutes on the clock.
Liverpool, whose only league defeat this season before East Midlands against Forest in September, looked set for another humiliation before Jota headed home to equalize in the 66th minute following 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!
