Mac Allister's Late Winner Gives Liverpool Edge Over Forest

Liverpool secured a dramatic 1-0 victory over Nottingham Forest thanks to Alexis Mac Allister's 97th-minute winner at the City Ground. The goal came after Mac Allister appeared to have given Liverpool an undeserved lead in the 89th minute, only for his strike to be ruled out for handball by VAR. However, in stoppage time, Mac Allister seized on a loose ball to score the decisive goal, sparking jubilant celebrations.

Jamie Carragher labeled the result a 'robbery', highlighting Liverpool's poor first-half performance where they were 'monstered physically' and struggled to adapt after losing Florian Wirtz. Vitor Pereira's Forest, who dominated the first half with 12 shots, remain perilously close to the Premier League relegation zone. The win lifts Liverpool to within six points of third-placed Aston Villa.
