Taiwo Awoniyi scores against his former club as a superb Nottingham Forest shock Liverpool at a boisterous City Ground
Forest have endured a difficult start to their first season back in the Premier League, but this was a day to remember as they thoroughly deserved their victory over a flat Liverpool.
Despite their struggles since winning promotion, Forest awarded Cooper a new contract until 2025 this month. Forest took the game to Liverpool from the first whistle and, by the time referee Paul Tierney blew for full-time, they had run themselves into the ground after a performance born out of aggression, energy and desire.
Three of their next five league games are against Arsenal , Manchester United and Chelsea , but this memorable win will give them confidence.Liverpool looked to be getting back into some sort of rhythm with wins over Rangers in the Champions League followed by back-to-back Premier League victories over Manchester City and West Ham.at Anfield six days ago, while their last league win at the City Ground was in 1984.
