Liverpool cruises to 3-0 Victory as Jota honours missing Luis Diaz

Liverpool enjoyed a comfortable 3-0 victory against Nottingham Forest at Anfield in a match marked by a touching tribute to Luis Diaz.

Diaz who missed the clash due to the tragic kidnapping of his parents in Colombia, was undoubtedly on the minds of his teammates.

Stepping into Diaz’s place, Diogo Jota opened the scoring after pouncing on a rebound from Darwin Nunez’s shot.

Jota quickly rushed to the sidelines, holding up a Diaz shirt.

Four minutes later, Liverpool’s attack was in full flow again, with Mohamed Salah and Dominik Szoboszlai combining to set up Darwin Nunez for a tap-in, doubling the lead before halftime.

The game’s outcome was all but sealed in the second half when Matt Turner’s misjudgment of a long pass from Szoboszlai allowed Salah to calmly finish, securing the win for the home side.

The victory takes Liverpool to 23 points, just three behind league leaders Tottenham.

For Nottingham Forest, their struggles persist, as they extend their winless streak to six games.
