Nottingham Forest secured a 1-0 victory over Liverpool at Anfield on the opening weekend of the Premier League season. Anthony Elanga scored the only goal of the game, coolly slotting home the opener after a swift counter-attack involving William Osula. New signing Morato impressed on his debut following a £30m move, making a crucial defensive intervention. Matz Sels earned a 7 rating for the hosts, producing a fine first-half save to deny Diogo Jota and pushing away a Virgil van Dijk header after the break. Lewis Hall conceded a stoppage-time penalty after a clash with Mohamed Salah, but Dominik Szoboszlai converted the spot-kick only for the goal to be ruled out or the result to stand as a Forest win (text implies 1-0 final score). Yoane Wissa excelled in the number 10 role, while Sean Roughan showed composure on his Premier League debut at 18. For Liverpool, Alisson and Jeremie Frimpong struggled, rated 5 and 4 respectively. Ryan Gravenberch marked his 100th Premier League appearance with an assist for the disallowed or late penalty context. Arne Slot's competitive debut ended in defeat as Forest claimed a famous win.
