Nottm Forest vs Liverpool LIVE: Premier League result and reaction after Taiwo Awoniyi winner
Premier League result and reaction after Forest stunned Liverpool to move off the bottom of the Premier League
Nottingham Forest ended their 10-game winless streak in style as Taiwo Awoniyi returned to haunt former club Liverpool and stop their Premier League revival.
Awoniyi was on the books at Anfield for six years without ever playing for them, but showed Jurgen Klopp what he was all about, securing a famous 1-0 win that lifts Forest off the bottom of the table after his second-half goal.
Forest beat Liverpool at the City Ground in their first ever Premier League match 30 years ago and this victory will be just as memorable as it is their first three points since August and will provide hope that they can make a fist of their return to the big time after picking up just three points from their last 27 available.
Follow all the reaction from the City Ground after Nottingham Forest took on Liverpool in Saturday’s early kick off:
Chelsea 0-0 Man Utd
60 mins: Raphael Varane has gone down and looks in a bad way. He’s emotional as he limps around the side of the pitch to get back to the changing rooms after refusing a stretcher.
Victor Lindelof has replaced him for Man Utd and he’ll play the last 30 minutes of this game. Will that create an opening for Chelsea?
Chelsea 0-0 Man Utd
57 mins: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is sent into space on the left side but United do well to force him wide and away from the box. Aubameyang gives it back to Kovacic who floats a cross over to Sterling inside the box and he tries to volley it over to Loftus-Cheek but miscues the ball and Luke Shaw manages to clear the danger.

48 mins: Fernandes attempts a long diagonal ball over to Antony and threads it through midfield to play the winger in behind. Kepa Arrizabalaga comes flying out of his area and gets to the ball first.
He remains calm and links up with Thiago Silva and Ben Chilwell to work the ball out from the back and beat the pressing of Antony.

Kick off: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang gets the match restarted for Chelsea. No changes from either manager at the break with Kovacic for Cucurella the only swap to happen thus far.

Roy Keane admits Cristiano has “had enough” and that he “lost his head” after walking down the tunnel before the end of Manchester United’s victory over Tottenham midweek.
Erik Ten Hag has banished Ronaldo to train with the Under-21s and left the legendary Portuguese out of the squad to face Chelsea on Saturday.
But Keane defended Ronaldo’s behaviour and even criticised Ten Hag, questioning the Dutch tactician’s wisdom behind attempting to send Ronaldo on with “two or three minutes to go”.
