Darwin Nunez’s goal in the 99th minute gave Liverpool a 1-0 victory over Nottingham Forest at the City Ground, and it turned out to be a turning point in the title figҺt. Liverpool controlled the game despite the absence of several important players, most notably Mohamed Salah. They dominated possession early on but were unable to generate clear-cut opportunities.
Goalie Caoimhin Kelleher denied Forest’s Elanga in the 23rd minute with a spectacular save following a Mac Allister mistake at the other end. Bobby Clark and Luis Diaz of Liverpool both had opportunities, but the first half finished goalless.
Liverpool kept trying to score after the break, and Andy Robertson’s attempt was saved. Darwin Nunez and Wataru Endo’s introductions in the 60th minute gave Liverpool another attacking threаt, with Nunez delivering the vital run in behind the defence.
Elanga nearly put Forest ahead, and when Nunez set him up, Gakpo squandered another chance. Liverpool made 16 efforts, but they were only able to muster one shot on goal.
As the minutes passed, Klopp made one last change in the 84th minute, inserting Jayden Danns. Although it appeared like the game would conclude in a tie, Nunez headed in Mac Allister’s cross in the final seconds of stoppage time to give Liverpool a tҺrilling triumph.
The victory increased Liverpool’s prospects of winning the championship and shown their tenacity and capacity to produce results even in the absence of important players. Nunez’s goal will definitely be seen as a turning point in their quest for the Premier League championship.
