Nottingham Forest tasted victory at Anfield for the first time since February 1969, as Nuno Espirito Santo’s side pulled off the most unexpected of victories. Only Manchester City now maintain a 100 per cent record in the English top flight and Liverpool must go back to the drawing board after Slot’s fine start at Anfield came to an abrupt end.

Callum Hudson-Odoi came off the bench to score the only goal of the match and bolster the squad's unbeaten record in the league so far this year.

"You've got to be almost perfect when you come to Anfield, especially with the form that Liverpool are in - and Forest were. There was just no way through, no gaps or spaces in the midfield. They were really tight and compact and Liverpool just got frustrated with how well Forest were playing.
