Mac Allister's Last-Gasp Winner Gives Liverpool Points at Nottingham Forest

Liverpool secured a dramatic 1-0 victory over Nottingham Forest at the City Ground, with Alexis Mac Allister scoring deep into stoppage time to snatch three vital points in a match that could have easily gone the other way.

Arne Slot's side delivered one of their poorest performances of the season, with former captain Jamie Carragher describing their first-half display as a "horror show." Throughout the match, Liverpool were thoroughly outplayed by a resurgent Forest side, who have shown significant improvement following Vitor Pereira's appointment as manager.

The turning point came in the chaotic final moments when Mac Allister pounced to secure the winner, just minutes after having a goal controversially ruled out by VAR. Liverpool's frustration was evident, but the result strengthened their push for Champions League qualification, moving them level on points with Chelsea and Manchester United.

For Nottingham Forest, the defeat stung despite their commanding performance. The hosts had several opportunities to break the deadlock, with Callum Hudson-Odoi missing their best chance early in the match when he was through on goal within the opening five minutes. All that was missing for Forest was the clinical finishing to capitalize on their dominance.

The result exemplified Liverpool's resilience this season, showcasing their ability to find ways to win even when not performing at their best, while Forest will take encouragement from their display as they continue their battle against relegation.
