In a major upset, Nottingham Forest defeated Liverpool 1-0 at Anfield on Saturday, with substitute Callum Hudson-Odoi scoring a superb second-half goal. Despite dominating the first half, Liverpool’s attackers struggled to find their rhythm, hitting a post in the 17th minute but lacking fluidity and wasting chances.
Hudson-Odoi punished Liverpool’s wastefulness in the 72nd minute, curling a brilliant effort past Alisson after a crossfield ball from Anthony Elanga. Liverpool, who had won their opening three league games under Arne Slot without conceding, looked short of ideas in their pursuit of an equalizer. A Virgil van Dijk header from a corner was their closest attempt, but it flew over the bar.
This surprising loss marks Slot’s first defeat as Liverpool manager and Forest’s first win at Anfield in 55 years.
