After two narrow victories, they had hope for improvement again at Liverpool FC. But it is destroyed by the bottom of the table of all people. Man of the day in Nottingham is a transfer from the Bundesliga.

1-0 against Manchester City, 1-0 against West Ham United – after a poor start to the season, Liverpool recently celebrated two close but important wins in the Premier League. But this short run was stopped again on Saturday. Coach Jürgen Klopp’s team lost 0-1 (0-0) at Nottingham Forest. Man of the day for the promoted team was Taiwo Awoniyi.

The attacker scored 15 Bundesliga goals for 1. FC Union last season and then moved to Nottingham in the summer. The 20 million euro fee meant a club record for the Berliners. Against Liverpool, the Nigerian, who was on the bench in the last league game, proved the money could be well spent.

In the 55th minute he scored the winning goal against the big favorite. After a cross from the right, Awoniyi initially hit the post, but was then able to convert the rebound.

Liverpool remains seventh

His third goal of the season was also enormously important. Before matchday, Forest had been in last place with just one win. Now the team jumped to 19th place and has the non-relegation places in sight again.

The visitors had chances to equalize in the final stages, but went wide of the goal several times or were denied by the strong Nottingham keeper Dean Henderson, who is loaned to Forest from Manchester United. Klopp’s team is thus continuing a complicated season and remains in seventh place, but can still lose that on this matchday.
