Nottingham Forest achieved a historic milestone on Saturday by defeating Liverpool 1-0 at Anfield in an English Premier League clash. This victory marks Forest’s first win at Liverpool’s home ground since 1969, ending a 55-year wait.

The match was tightly contested, with both teams struggling to break the deadlock in the first half. Liverpool's Luis Diaz came closest to scoring for the hosts when he struck the post, while Forest's goalkeeper, Matz Sels, narrowly avoided an own goal after a fumbled header.

The decisive moment arrived shortly after the hour mark when Forest substitute Callum Hudson-Odoi unleashed a curling shot into the back of the net. This goal not only secured a famous win for Forest but also handed Liverpool manager Arne Slot his first defeat since taking over at the start of the season.

Despite intense late pressure from Liverpool, Forest’s defense held firm to secure the victory. The result is a significant boost for Forest, who remain unbeaten in the League this season, though they still trail Liverpool by one point in the table.

This historic win at Anfield will bolster Forest’s confidence as they seek to establish themselves as a formidable contender in the Premier League.
