**Liverpool, England:** Nottingham Forest secured a historic 1-0 victory at Anfield, ending their 54-year drought against Liverpool and handing new manager Arne Slot his first defeat.
The win was a testament to Forest’s resolute defense and clinical finishing, epitomized by Callum Hudson-Odoi’s second-half goal.
Despite dominating possession, Liverpool struggled to break down Forest’s organized defense, leaving Anfield fans frustrated. Slot admitted his team made too many errors and was outplayed by Forest’s counter-attacking style.
“It’s a big setback,” said Slot, highlighting the disappointment of losing at home to a team typically outside the top 10. He also criticized his team’s individual performances, citing a lack of precision in possession and poor decision-making.
Former Celtic striker Chris Sutton declared Slot’s “honeymoon period” over, suggesting the new manager has much work to do.
Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo, however, was overjoyed with the victory. He praised his team’s defensive performance and lauded Hudson-Odoi’s decisive finish. “It’s all about taking your chances at the right moment, and we did,” he said.
This win marks a positive start to the season for Forest, who remain unbeaten after four games. The result also raises questions about Liverpool’s ability to compete for the Premier League title this year, with their next challenge being a Champions League clash against AC Milan.
