Just seconds from the end, Darwin Nunez produced one of those uproarious moments that you might usually say was a sign of where the title is going. The evidence of this season, however, suggests it’s going to need many more of them.

Perhaps the greatest significance of this 99th-minute 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest, beyond the vintage late header of such a classic run-in victory, was that Jurgen Klopp’s side kept persevering despite so many absences. They have kept this form going, and still have a number of stars to come back.

The return of a player who is definitely ascending to that kind of level for supporters was the crucial difference here.

GOOD CHANCE! We're into a minimum of eight minutes of stoppage time here and Liverpool are still throwing everything they have at Forest. Diaz fizzes a dangerous low cross into the six-yard box, but Nunez can't reach it on the stretch as he slides in.

Omobamidele sells himself trying to block Endo's throughball, but it rolls past him straight out to Diaz. He cuts inside from the left before whipping a shot across goal which is deflected out for a corner.

Sels gets slowly back to his feet, and it looks like he is going to carry on. Turner is getting warmed up on the sidelines, but for now, he isn't going to be needed.

Sels needs treatment after that collision with Danns, and it seems to be a problem with his thigh. The medical team are on, but they've been seeing to him for a long time.

Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool

Sels comes off his line to collect a cross and Danns crashes into him as he tries to get on the end of it. The goalkeeper stays down, and the youngster goes into the book.

Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool

There are big shouts for a penalty from the Liverpool fans and players as they're claiming that Hudson-Odoi blocked Szoboszlai's shot with his arm. The winger's back was turned, and that's where it hit him, so it's just a corner.

SAVE! It's a lovely first-time pass from Danilo down the left to pick out Hudson-Odoi's run into the box, and he drags it past Bradley to get a sight of goal. He scuffs at the shot though, and it's a comfortable save for Kelleher.
