Darwin Núñez headed in a last-gasp winner as Premier League leaders Liverpool snatched three points with a 1-0 victory over relegation-threatened Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Saturday.
Núñez’s 99th-minute goal put Liverpool four points clear of second-placed Manchester City with 63 points from 27 matches, although Pep Guardiola’s side have a game in hand. Forest, whose outraged staff and players surrounded the officials after the final whistle, are 17th, four points above the relegation zone.
Liverpool dominated possession, but struggled in the final third against Forest’s diligent defensive effort and the game looked destined for a draw.
Liverpool continued to press and Forest goalkeeper Matz Sels made some terrific late saves but could not stop Núñez’s heroics that had the Liverpool bench and manager Jurgen Klopp leaping to their feet in celebration.
