Liverpool had a forgettable match when they suffered a 0-3 home defeat to Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.
Despite controlling the ball superiorly (74%), coach Arne Slot and his team were still helpless in the face of the away team's disciplined and sharp counter-attack.
Right from the first half, Liverpool dominated with a series of attacks from Salah, Gakpo and Szoboszlai, but goalkeeper Matz Sels and Nottingham's defense played extremely focused.
On the contrary, the visitors successfully took advantage of their rare opportunity. In the 33rd minute, Murillo appeared at the right time in the penalty area, launching an opening shot 1-0 after a chaotic situation.
In the second half, Liverpool continued to press but still could not penetrate the opponent's dense defense. In the 46th minute, Neco Williams made an accurate assist for Nicolo Savona to double the gap for Nottingham.
The real shock came in the 78th minute, when Morgan Gibbs-White fired a dangerous shot, raising the score to 3-0 and extinguishing all hopes of a point for the home team.
Despite making many substitutions, Liverpool still played at a dead end. Opportunities from Chiesa and Allister all unfortunately passed in front of Nottingham's goal, while goalkeeper Alisson had to show his talent many times to avoid more serious defeat.
This defeat was a warning for Liverpool, as they continued to show ineffectiveness in finishing and obvious problems in defense. With a 0-3 defeat, The Kop was left behind in the championship race.
