Liverpool plunged further into crisis as they slumped to an eighth defeat in 11 matches following a stunning 3–0 loss to Nottingham Forest at Anfield.
Liverpool once again found themselves trailing entering half time despite a bright start, Murillo converting—albeit with a splash of offside controversy thrown in—from a corner to pile more misery on their hosts. Forest were seemingly unlucky not to be further ahead at the whistle, too, Igor Jesus seeing his strike controversially ruled out for handball.
Forest frustration turned to jubilation just moments into the second half as Nicolò Savona took advantage of weak Liverpool defending, with Morgan Gibbs-White adding a third later in proceedings to condemn the hosts to a horrid defeat.
The result effectively ends Liverpool’s title defence—Arsenal eight points clear of them with a game-in-hand—and heaps more pressure on the under-fire Arne Slot.
