Liverpool survived one of their worst performances of the season to snatch a last-gasp 1-0 win in a dramatic ending at Nottingham Forest.<\/p>\n
Arne Slot’s men were woefully out of sorts at the City Ground, with former captain Jamie Carragher describing their first-half performance as a “horror show”.<\/p>\n
Yet they left with the three points after Alexis Mac Allister pounced deep into stoppage time, minutes after he had a goal controversially ruled out by VAR.<\/p>\n
Liverpool were fuming after that decision, but the bigger injustice is the result after they were thoroughly outplayed by a resurgent Forest, who are enjoying a bounce following Vitor Pereira’s appointment.<\/p>\n
But they found a way to win and strengthened their hopes of earning Champions League qualification, moving level on points with Chelsea and Manchester United.<\/p>\n
Defeat will sting for Forest, but they will take heart from their performance as they remain deep in a relegation battle.<\/p>\n
All that was missing for the hosts was a goal, with Callum Hudson-Odoi missing their best chance when he was through inside the opening five minutes. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liverpool survived one of their worst performances of the season to snatch a last-gasp 1-0 win in a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":311854,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,112],"class_list":["post-311853","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/311853","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=311853"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/311853\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/311854"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=311853"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=311853"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=311853"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
