Callum Hudson-Odoi and an undefeated Nottingham Forest shocked Liverpool at Anfield, halting Arne Slot’s flawless start as the Reds’ manager.
Hudson-Odoi, coming off the bench, made an immediate impact by cutting in from the left and delivering a stunning curled shot into the bottom corner, leaving goalkeeper Alisson with no chance to save it.
This victory marked Nottingham Forest’s first win at Anfield in any competition since 1969.
Liverpool entered the match brimming with confidence after securing three consecutive victories without conceding a single goal, but Forest’s resilience proved too much on the day.
Liverpool had the majority of the chances, particularly in the first half.
Luis Diaz came closest for the Reds before halftime, chasing down a seemingly lost ball, cutting inside, and smashing a powerful shot against the near post from a difficult angle.
Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Matz Sels was tested multiple times, pulling off a solid save to deny an Alexis Mac Allister header, and was fortunate not to fumble a shot from Diaz into his own net.
Forest found more attacking rhythm after the break, with Morgan Gibbs-White and Anthony Elanga both missing the target before Callum Hudson-Odoi delivered his match-winning strike.
Despite the home crowd’s efforts to rally their team, Liverpool struggled to create clear-cut opportunities to level the score.
The win moved Forest into fourth in the early Premier League standings, with two wins and two draws, while Liverpool sit just above them, two places higher with a one-point advantage.
