Your support makes all the difference.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.

Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool
Gibbs-White's throughball is straight against Gomez, but Murillo gets across to tidy up before he can counter. The defender goes long for Elanga, but shows too much of it to Kelleher, giving the winger no chance.
Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool
Gomez has had a couple of late fouls in the last couple of minutes, with his latest bringing Gibbs-White down as the midfielder swept it out to Hudson-Odoi. The referee pulls it back for a free-kick, but Forest can't do anything with it.
Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool
Diaz is starting to cause Forest some real problems as he drifts out to the right this time. He fizzes a low ball across the face of goal on the half-turn, but none of his team-mates are there to get what would've been a tap-in.
Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool
Hudson-Odoi does well against Bradley as he pushes forward down the left, and he has bodies to aim for in the middle when he gets away from the youngster. Van Dijk gets to it first though, and calmly nods it back to Kelleher.
Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool
BLOCK! Bradley plays a good one-two with Elliott to get away down the right before he pulls it back into the box, but it's behind Diaz. Clark reacts quickest to reach it but scuffs his shot to the Colombian. He pokes it on goal from close range, but Murillo throws himself in front of it to send it behind.
Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool
CHANCE! It's Clark who cuts inside from the left this time, and a pocket of space just opens up for him. He whips a shot towards the far top corner, but it's just too high as it flies over.
Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool
GREAT SAVE! Forest smother Liverpool's latest attack before they surge forward on the counter. Elanga gets goalside of Van Dijk as he gets into the box, but Kelleher rushes out and sticks out a leg to keep out his low strike.

Dominguez fires a ball through midfield looking for Origi, who is hovering between the centre-backs. Van Dijk has it covered though, and Liverpool are back in possession.
Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool
Liverpool are starting to up the pressure here, with Robertson still being given a lot of space down the left. He curls an inviting cross into the six-yard box, and it looks like Sels has it covered, but Murillo hooks it clear just in front of him.
