The spluttering champions fell behind in the 33rd minute when Murillo\u2019s fierce strike punished their failure to deal with Elliot Anderson\u2019s corner.<\/p>\n
Reds boss Arne Slot was fuming that the goal was allowed despite Forest\u2019s Dan Ndoye appearing to obstruct Liverpool keeper Alisson Becker — an offence that led Virgil van Dijk\u2019s equaliser to be disallowed in the 3-0 loss at Manchester City before the international break.<\/p>\n
Sean Dyche\u2019s side doubled their lead after 46 minutes when Nicolo Savona slotted home from Neco Williams\u2019 cut-back.<\/p>\n
With Liverpool\u2019s defence in disarray, Morgan Gibbs-White scored Forest\u2019s third from the rebound after Omari Hutchinson\u2019s shot was saved in the 78th minute.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Beaten by Forest at Anfield for a second successive season, Liverpool have lost eight of their last 11 games in all competitions, including six of their last seven in the top flight.<\/p>\n
It is the first time Liverpool have lost consecutive league games by a three-goal margin since 1965.<\/p>\n
Once again Liverpool were devoid of inspiration and energy in another lethargic display that left them languishing in 11th place, eight points behind leaders Arsenal.<\/p>\n
Liverpool\u2019s stunning decline comes after a summer spending spree of over \u00a3400 million ($A812 million).<\/p>\n
Alexander Isak was hauled off in the second half of his fourth league start for Liverpool following a British record move from Newcastle that has failed to live up to the hype.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnother big disappointment. We started off quite well but we conceded the 1-0 and weren\u2019t able to play the way we did in the first half hour,\u201d Slot said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf things go well or things go bad, it\u2019s my responsibility. We weren\u2019t able to create enough. I tried to adjust a few things, but it didn\u2019t work out. We are in a very bad spell.\u201d<\/p>\n
Former Arsenal and England defender Martin Keown told BBC Sport the \u201cwheels are coming off\u201d for Slot.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s certainly a major problem for the manager to go six defeats from seven. Unthinkable,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was Jurgen Klopp\u2019s team and he has tried to come in and make changes, but he has spent \u00a3450m on players and they are going backwards.\u201d<\/p>\n
CITY BOSS\u2019 FIERY CLASH WITH REFEREE, CAMERAMAN<\/p>\n
At St James\u2019 Park, Manchester City trailed to Barnes\u2019 63rd-minute drive from the edge of the area before Ruben Dias equalised with a deflected strike five minutes later.<\/p>\n
Two minutes after Dias levelled, Barnes bagged Newcastle\u2019s contentious second goal with a fierce volley, which was allowed to stand after a lengthy VAR check for a potential offside against Bruno Guimaraes, whose header had cannoned back off the bar.<\/p>\n
Guardiola was also aggrieved over a rejected first-half penalty claim by Phil Foden.<\/p>\n
City\u2019s fourth league defeat this season left them in third place, four points behind Arsenal, who host Tottenham on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Guardiola stormed onto the pitch at full-time to confront referee Sam Barrott, but later insisted \u201ceverything is fine\u201d when asked about the incident.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt happened in the Bournemouth game and it happened today again. It is what it is after VAR decided. They know perfectly,\u201d he said of Newcastle\u2019s second goal.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was entertaining game, we both had chances and then there was a momentum shift and ultimately we couldn\u2019t win.\u201d <\/p>\n

Enzo Maresca\u2019s side, who sit three points behind Arsenal, have won eight of their last 10 matches in all competitions, making it a memorable 50th Premier League game in charge for the Italian.<\/p>\n
It was the ideal warm-up for Chelsea ahead of a crucial week featuring home games against Barcelona in the Champions League on Tuesday and Arsenal in the Premier League on November 30.<\/p>\n
New Wolves manager Rob Edwards suffered a 2-0 debut defeat against fourth-placed Crystal Palace at Molineux.<\/p>\n
