Liverpool entertained Nottingham Forest at Anfield earlier today as they focused on securing a good result at home in the Premier League. The Reds made a good start to the game but struggled to make the decisive breakthrough as they went into the half-time break with a goalless scoreline.
Arne Slot’s men conceded the opener in the 72nd minute when Callum Hudson-Odoi scored with a good finish. The Merseyside club failed to find the equaliser and crashed to a lackluster 1-0 loss in front of their home fans.
Let’s take a look at how each Liverpool player fared during the clash against Nottingham Forest.
