Taiwo Awoniyi scores winner as Nottingham Forest stun Liverpool
Former Liverpool striker Taiwo Awoniyi returned to avenge his former team by scoring the game-winning goal at the City Ground for bottom-of-the-table Nottingham Forest.

Before the game, it was revealed that Thiago Alcântara and Darwin Néz would miss it due to injuries. This was a setback for Jürgen Klopp.

The visitors were obviously lacking in inspiration, however, they came near early on when Fabio Carvalho was sent through on goal by Harvey Elliott's through ball, but Dean Henderson reacted quickly to stop him.

Before the break, Cheikhou Kouyaté and Jesse Lingard gave Forest a chance to get into the game and tested Alisson Becker.

The home crowd smelt blood and they were sent into hysterics 10 minutes into the second half when Awoniyi reacted first to Ryan Yates’ effort off the post to tap home from six yards out.

Substitute Trent Alexander-Arnold forced a good save from Henderson with a header at the back post and the goalkeeper was at hand to pull off a stunning save to deny Virgil van Dijk’s header in stoppage time.

But it’s a third defeat of the season for Liverpool who remains in seventh with 16 points from 11 games but Steve Cooper’s men jump off the bottom and above Leicester after earning their first win since August.
