Pivotal
Liverpool
Nottingham Forest
Liverpool dominated the ball with 70% possession and 626 passes to Forest's 280, but struggled to turn control into cutting edge, managing just one big chance created compared to Forest's five. Forest were clinical and direct on the counter, with Dan Ndoye opening the scoring early before Morgan Gibbs-White converted a 70th-minute penalty won by Neco Williams to put the visitors 2-1 up. Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak dragged Liverpool level twice, but it was substitute-fueled chaos late on that decided the story, as Víctor Muñoz's 82nd-minute strike salvaged a 2-2 draw after Liverpool had thrown men forward. Six yellow cards and a frenetic final half hour underlined how fine the margins were, with Forest's clinical edge in the box nearly stealing all three points despite being second-best statistically.
