Nottingham Forest delivered a ruthless blow to Liverpool’s fragile title defence, thumping the Reds 3–0 at Anfield in a shocking display that deepened manager Arne Slot’s woes.

Forest took the lead in the 33rd minute when Murillo capitalised on Liverpool’s inability to defend a corner, nodding home from a set-piece.
Just 38 seconds into the second half, Neco Williams broke free down the left and cut the ball back for Nicolo Savona, who made no mistake to make it 2–0.
The visitors sealed the rout in the 78th minute when Morgan Gibbs-White pounced on a rebound off Alisson’s save, slotting home to complete the scoreline.

The result leaves Liverpool in tatters it’s their sixth league defeat in seven games, sliding to 11th place in the table. The loss is among their worst at Anfield in recent memory.

For Forest, the victory is a huge morale boost. It lifts them out of the relegation zone and marks a bold statement under Sean Dyche, who’s stitched together a disciplined, deadly side.

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk didn’t hide his disappointment, admitting the goals were “far too easy” and calling for his teammates to reflect. Slot, for his part, accepted full responsibility for the debacle, acknowledging his tactical tweaks failed and insisting he must find a way to revive his team.

If this was a warning shot consider it fired.
