The ECHO looks at how the national media analysed Liverpool's 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest at the City Ground in the Premier LeagueLiverpool secured their third successive win across all competitions with a 97th-minute winner via Alexis Mac Allister at Nottingham Forest on Sunday. Here's how they viewed things as Liverpool secured what could yet be a huge win in their Champions League qualification quest.READ MORE: Arne Slot gives Florian Wirtz injury update after Liverpool star's late pull outREAD MORE: Jamie Carragher and Daniel Sturridge make same Liverpool demand as Rio Ferdinand wades inLewis Steele, of the Daily Mail, writes: "Rio Ngumoha came off the bench with Liverpool needing a special moment and he made one.
They are still sixth but, over the last two rounds of fixtures, they have closed a four-point gap to Chelsea when Liam Rosenior’s men, who faced Leeds and Burnley at home, might have imagined going seven or eight clear of Slot’s side, who had seemingly harder fixtures."Liverpool have found different ways to win away: convincingly at Sunderland, unconvincingly at Forest. Had the ball struck Mac Allister’s arm too?
And breathe."And in the ECHO's verdict: "Throughout this turbulent and troubled campaign, Arne Slot has often argued that Liverpool haven't always got what they have deserved. He might want to add this to the list."Across the balance of play, Liverpool were fortunate to emerge from the City Ground with just their second league win here in 42 years, but the nature of this 1-0 victory, their second successive triumph on the road, may inject further belief that they can end this term with a place in the Champions League."Having been denied by a handball call from VAR in the closing stages - when Ola Aina's clearance initially appeared to have struck him on the back - Alexis Mac Allister would not be denied a second time, pouncing on a loose ball to plunder home and give the Reds a huge three points against Nottingham Forest."It wasn't pretty and it was far from flowing but Slot's players dug deep to keep a rejuvenated Forest at bay under their fourth manager of the season in Vitor Pereira.
