EPL: Darwin Nunez’s late goal seal Liverpool’s win over Nottingham Forest

Liverpool’s Darwin Nunez stole the show with a dramatic 99th-minute winner against Nottingham Forest, maintaining Liverpool’s bid for a quadruple.

Nunez, a second-half substitute, headed in Alexis Mac Allister’s cross to secure a crucial three points for Liverpool and their first Premier League win at the City Ground.

The game was marked by tension, with the home side feeling aggrieved by a decision from referee Paul Tierney just before Nunez’s goal.

The Forest bench and players protested against the decision, leading to first-team coach Steven Reid’s sending off.
