Liverpool’s Darwin Nunez entered the game as a substitute and scored a thrilling 99th-minute goal to secure a vital victory for his team against Nottingham Forest.
With the clock ticking down, Nunez connected with Alexis Mac Allister’s cross and directed a glancing header into the bottom corner of the net, prompting jubilation among the Liverpool players and fans.
The tense match had seemed destined for a draw until Nunez’s late intervention, with both teams creating chances throughout. However, controversy erupted in the dying moments when Forest player Ibrahima Konate went down with a head injury, leading to a lengthy delay in play.
Despite having possession at the time of the injury, Forest were unable to prevent Liverpool from regaining control of the ball and launching a swift counterattack that ultimately led to Nunez’s winning goal.
The visitors’ joy was compounded by the fact that it was their first league triumph at the City Ground since 1984.
The outcome leaves Liverpool four points clear at the summit of the Premier League table, setting the stage for a pivotal showdown with reigning champions Manchester City next weekend.
