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.

Diaz gets away from Omobamidele with a clever drop of the shoulder and drives to the byline. He gets his head up to look for a team-mate, but that gives Williams the chance to slide in and dispossess him.

That booking was Robertson's last involvement in the game as he's the first to go off in a double change for the Reds. Nunez replaces him.

Liverpool's latest corner swings away from everyone, bouncing out to Elliott on the edge of the box. He lets it bounce before hitting a shot on goal, but Yates blocks it with his head and needs a moment before getting back to his feet.

Forest are sitting very deep in their own half, so even when they do win the ball back, there's no way out for them. Yates sends a hopeful long ball forward, but Elanga can't get anywhere near it, so Liverpool start again.

Bradley and Elliott link up well down the right, but Toffolo makes a good block to stop the latter's cross from going into the box. Clark tries to recycle it, but he's shepherded out of play by Murillo.

Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool

After a bright start by Forest, Liverpool are starting to regain their foothold here. They're moving it upfield quickly, but Forest are standing their ground whenever the Reds get it into the box at the moment.

Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool

CHANCE! Diaz can't make contact for a shot, but he manages to scuff it out to the left of the box, where Robertson is making a late run. He puts his laces through the half-volley, hitting it across goal, but a deft touch from Omobamidele takes it wide.
