FT: Nottingham Forest 0-1 Liverpool, Darwin Nunez Scored Stunning Late Winner [VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS]

Darwin Nunez starred for Liverpool as the Reds struck late at City Ground to pick all three points against a hard-fighting Nottingham Forest side in the Premier League.

Teetering on the edges of the relegation and facing the likelihood of being slammed with Premier League sanctions, Nottingham Forest had a lot to fight for hosting high-flying Liverpool at City Ground.

It was the first time new manager Nuno Espirito Santos would come head-on with Jurgen Klopp, who was strongly in the race for the Premier League title.

Having defeated Chelsea at Wembley to clinch the Carabao Cup, and edging out Southampton in FA Cup 5th round to book a ticket for the last 8 of the competition, Klopp was perfectly keeping the Reds on the lane to clinch a historic quadruple

Coming on against Nottingham Forest, it was another tough going for the Reds. They needed a last touch of the ball by Darwin Nunez to secure victory.

Nottingham Forest nearly fought them to a standstill. Reeling under heavy pressure, the Tricky Trees held on while relying on counterattacks to threaten Liverpool’s defense.

The first half ended barren as Liverpool struggled to find a way through the hosts’ solid defense line.

Nothing changed in the second half. Liverpool continued on their dominant display while Nottingham Forest fell back to defend.

At the regulation time, it was still goalless. Nottingham Forest were looking set to run out with a point but were dealt a big blow just at the stroke of the last minute.

Marc Allister made an unreal interception and floated the ball for Darwin Nunez, who beat Nottingham Forest with his aerial prowess to head home a late winner for the Reds.

Liverpool have now opened a four-point gap on top of the Premier League but have played a game more than Manchester City and Arsenal in second and third place respectively.
