The 1-0 win extended Forest’s unbeaten start to the season
But Forest did what they had to do – hold out long enough against off-colour opponents to carve out a decent opportunity, although when it came it was barely a half-chance.
Forest were helped by some terribly scrappy play by the hosts, who looked very much like they not seen each other for a fortnight as passes went astray and touches were missed too frequently. Dominik Szoboszlai headed wide and Diogo Jota volleyed straight at Matz Sels from sumptuous outside-of-the-boot crosses from Mohamed Salah and Alexis Mac Allister respectively, but those brief moments of quality were fleeting.Virgil van Dijk’s weak effort dropped wide before Sels saved from Trent Alexander-Arnold’s inswinging corner and Mac Allister’s header.
Liverpool also failed to isolate Salah against Alex Moreno, booked just before half-time, often enough, although the Egypt international did fashion the first chance after the break with a shot which was tipped around the near post.Off came Diaz and Mac Allister after their long trips back from South America, plus Jota, and on came Darwin Nunez, Cody Gakpo and Bradley, with Alexander-Arnold moving into midfield.
