September 14, (THEWILL) – Nottingham Forest achieved a historic victory at Anfield, defeating Liverpool 1-0 in an English Premier League clash on Saturday. This marks Forest’s first win at Liverpool’s home ground since 1969, ending a 55-year wait.
The match remained goalless in the first half, with Forest’s defence holding firm against Liverpool’s attack. Luis Diaz came closest for the hosts, hitting the post, while Forest goalkeeper, Matz Sels, narrowly avoided an own goal after fumbling a header.
The decisive moment came after the hour mark when Forest substitute, Callum Hudson-Odoi, scored with a curling shot. This goal handed Arne Slot his first defeat as Liverpool’s manager since taking over ahead of the start of this season.
Despite late pressure from Liverpool, Forest held on for a famous victory. The result continues Forest’s strong start to the 2024/2025 season while dealing a blow to Slot’s 100% record.
The win keeps Forest unbeaten in the League this season, though they remain one point behind Liverpool in the table. This result will boost Forest’s confidence as they aim to establish themselves as a competitive force in the top flight.
