Premier League: Nottingham Forest shock Liverpool

-

Nottingham Forest 1 - 0 Liverpool

Nottingham Forest delivered a fine performance to shock Liverpool and picked up only their second win of the season.

Taiwo Awoniyi hit the winner from close range after his initial attempt came back off a post.

The away side were a long way from their best and they remain without an away league win this season. Klopp's look a million miles away from the side that was only two wins from winning an unprecedented quadruple last season.

There were amazing scenes on and off the pitch at the final whistle. Forest enjoyed their best day since returning to the Premier League this season after a 23-year absence.

Social media reaction 

The result and Liverpool's performance caused a huge amount of discussion on social media. One Liverpool fan believes that this has been coming and was critical of the running of the club: "Some fans say we’re a well run club. Realistically, we’re the worst run club in the big 6. 

"Owners that can only operate on a sell to buy policy (ludicrous on its own) but they’ve let the squad stagnate to the point we don’t have anyone to sell and need to sign about 6 players."

Scholes wasn’t offside: United progress Had the linesman not flagged Scholes for offside, Manchester United would have progressed to the next round of the Champions League. Scholes' goal was legitimate, and had it stood, United would have won the tie on aggregate, knocking out Porto and ending their European dreams. With the Red Devils moving

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)
