A superb second-half goal from substitute Callum Hudson-Odoi gave Nottingham Forest the biggest surprise win of the Premier League season so far as they beat Liverpool 1-0 at Anfield.

The home side dominated the opening half and Luis Diaz hit a post in the 17th minute, but too often the Liverpool attackers found themselves on different wavelengths, and much of their play lacked their usual fluidity as chances went begging.

Their wastefulness was punished in the 72nd minute as Anthony Elanga found his fellow substitute Hudson-Odoi with a brilliant crossfield ball, and the 23-year-old winger cut inside before curling a tremendous effort past goalkeeper Alisson.

Having convincingly won all of their opening three league games under Arne Slot without conceding a goal, Liverpool looked short of ideas as they sought to come back. A Virgil van Dijk header from a corner that flew over was the closest they came to an equaliser.

To freshen up his side for a probable Liverpool onslaught, Nuno makes a triple change. First, Moreno is replaced by ex-Liverpool defender Williams.

Nottingham Forest have at least avoided defeat in their last seven matches when scoring first in the Premier League, since a 3-2 loss to Brentford on 20th January. Can they retain this precious advantage today?

Struggling to find a clear route past Moreno, Salah decides to take a hopeful shot from an unlikely angle on the right. Sels stops it easily. Perhaps delivering a cross into the box would've been a better option there.

Another inswinging corner by Alexander-Arnold is flicked on and requires a fairly comfortable goal-line clearance by Aina; then, Gravenberch shoots tamely at Sels from the edge of the area.

A lovely flowing move by Forest - sparked by a velvet touch from Hudson-Odoi on the left flank - ends with Gibbs-White waywardly shooting over from the edge of the area. It promised so much more, though. The intoduction of Elanga and Hudson-Odoi has started to stretch Liverpool's defence.
