Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

In search of a late goal that will give Liverpool the opportunity to head into the half ahead, Fabinho misplays a ball out to the right wing for Alexander-Arnold, forcing Salah to abandon his position up the pitch in order to retreat and save possession before rolling out for a throw-in.

The fourth official indicates three minutes will be added to the end of the first half for stoppages.

Salah again cuts inside before looking to find the feet of Gakpo but Felipe reads the intentions of the winger and immediately pokes the ball away with a hurried toe-punt.

Salah plays a square pass from the right touchline into the feet of Gakpo, who immediately plays it forward to the byline for Alexander-Arnold. The full-back’s overlapping run gets him onto the ball and in space inside the penalty area but a poor first touch takes it behind for a goal-kick.

HOW HAS IT GONE WIDE?! Again, Alexander-Arnold’s free-kick delivery is superb, putting the ball right on the head of Jota at the far post. With nobody marking the Portugal international and the goalkeeper out of position, the winger manages to prod his effort the wrong side of the post from two yards out!

Salah drops his shoulder with speed and skill and cuts inside on Niakhate, winning another free-kick on the right-hand side - with Alexander-Arnold standing over the deadball.
