Mohamed Salah’s milestone appearance overshadowed by Liverpool’s defeat to Nottingham Forest

Liverpool lost 3-0 to Nottingham Forest at Anfield on Saturday afternoon, falling to their sixth defeat in their last seven Premier League games.

Mohamed Salah made his 300th appearance for the defending champions, but it was an afternoon to forget for the Egyptian and his team-mates.

The defeat also marked Liverpool’s second home league loss this term and Forest’s first league away win under Sean Dyche

Liverpool dominated possession early on and nearly took the lead when Alexis Mac Allister’s goal-bound effort was headed off the line by Elliott Anderson.

Milos Kerkez missed a golden chance to reward the hosts for their bright start, blazing over the top after brilliant footwork from Salah.

Murillo broke the deadlock, taking advantage of Liverpool’s failure to deal with a corner, and slammed the ball into the bottom corner.

Moments later, Igor Jesus thought he had given the visitors a two-goal cushion, but his effort was ruled out for a handball.

Just after the restart, Forest made it 2-0 as Nicolo Savona fired beyond goalkeeper Alisson Becker after receiving a cutback from Nico Williams.

Liverpool’s first sight of goal came after the hour mark when Salah worked himself into a good position, only to drag his effort wide.

Dominik Szoboszlai forced Matz Sels to produce his first save after the break, but it was Forest that added to their tally at the other end with Morgan Gibbs-White putting the ball home from a rebound.
