Ally McCoist
Former Scotland striker on TNT SportsThat is some finish.
The speed with which Victor Munoz takes it, he smashes it into the net. It's all about the turn and the strike.
Right into the roof of the net via the crossbar.
This is terrific.

That a player as talented as Szoboszlai often ends up at right-back tells you everything about squad depth and poor planning.

No way that’s a penalty. He gets his shot away with no interference.
Luke, Lyme Regis
So goalkeeper goes to make a save, player misses and just has to run into goalkeeper to win a penalty?
Rich, Northwich
What is Alisson meant to do? He clearly goes down for the save and at the same time there’s minimal contact, how is this a foul?

Match Facts
Liverpool have lost their last two home league games against Nottingham Forest, more than they had in their previous 30 (W24 D5 L1). They’ve never lost three in a row against them at Anfield.
Since Nottingham Forest’s return to the Premier League in 2022, no side has won more league games against Liverpool than the Tricky Trees (3).
Nottingham Forest have won their last two Premier League away games against Liverpool, with Crystal Palace the last visiting side to win three consecutively at Anfield (2015 to 2017).
Liverpool have won their first home game in 12 of the last 13 Premier League seasons, drawing the other 1-1 with Crystal Palace in 2022-23. The Reds haven’t lost their first Anfield match of a league campaign since 2003-04 (1-2 v Chelsea), remaining unbeaten in 22 since (W17 D5).
Nottingham Forest have won their opening away game in just one of the last eight league seasons (D3 L4), with that win coming at Southampton in 2024-25. The Tricky Trees did, however, win three of their final four Premier League games on the road last term (L1).
Liverpool have failed to win any of their last five Premier League games (D3 L2), last enduring a longer winless run between May and September 2012.
Nottingham Forest have scored in each of their last 10 Premier League away games – the longest ongoing run in the division – netting 15 goals across their last five games on the road (3 per game).
Dominik Szoboszlai has had a hand in 11 goals across his last 16 Premier League appearances (5 goals, 6 assists), netting Liverpool’s 99th-minute equaliser from the penalty spot on MD1 against Newcastle. Since the start of this run (24th January), only Bruno Fernandes (16), Morgan Gibbs-White (13), Jarrod Bowen (13), and João Pedro (12) have more goal involvements in the competition than Szoboszlai.
Morgan Gibbs-White has either scored (2) or assisted (1) three of Nottingham Forest’s last six Premier League goals at Anfield, while the Englishman has netted the most Premier League goals overall this calendar year (12).
Cody Gakpo had nine shot involvements against Newcastle last time out (6 shots, 3 chances created), the most of any player on MD1 in this season’s Premier League, while the Dutchman has only had more in one league game for Liverpool (8 shots, 2 chances created v West Ham in April 2024).
