In a stunning turn of events, Nottingham Forest has ended a 55-year winless streak at Anfield, claiming a 1-0 victory over Liverpool thanks to a spectacular goal from Callum Hudson-Odoi. This defeat marks the first loss of the Arne Slot era for the Reds.

Slot’s team, which had previously kept a clean sheet in their first three league games, suffered their first setback of the season in a poor attacking performance, falling to a Forest side that capitalized on their chances.

Liverpool appeared dominant in the first half, with Luis Díaz hitting the post, but were unable to convert their superiority into goals. Forest gradually found their footing, exploiting spaces on the counterattack.

Alisson Becker initially kept Forest at bay with a crucial save from Chris Wood, but was helpless against Elanga’s long-range pass to Hudson-Odoi. The former United player sped past Conor Bradley and curled a stunning shot into the far corner, leaving Alisson stranded.

Despite having ample time to respond, Liverpool could only muster a wayward shot from Mohamed Salah and a missed header from Virgil Van Dijk. The Reds’ attack failed to make a significant impact, presenting a disappointing performance for a team expected to contend for the title.

Following three flawless victories, Slot’s side now trails Manchester City, who remain the only team with a perfect record of four wins. Nottingham Forest, who had not won at Anfield since 1969, finds themselves in a surprising fourth place, tied on points with Brighton & Hove Albion and four points behind Manchester City.
