A superb second-half goal from substitute Callum Hudson-Odoi gave Nottingham Forest the biggest surprise win of the Premier League season so far as they beat Liverpool 1-0 at Anfield.

The home side dominated the opening half and Luis Diaz hit a post in the 17th minute, but too often the Liverpool attackers found themselves on different wavelengths, and much of their play lacked their usual fluidity as chances went begging.

Their wastefulness was punished in the 72nd minute as Anthony Elanga found his fellow substitute Hudson-Odoi with a brilliant crossfield ball, and the 23-year-old winger cut inside before curling a tremendous effort past goalkeeper Alisson.

Having convincingly won all of their opening three league games under Arne Slot without conceding a goal, Liverpool looked short of ideas as they sought to come back. A Virgil van Dijk header from a corner that flew over was the closest they came to an equaliser.

Liverpool have increased their share of possession from 66% during the first half to 73% since the interval, but to no avail. There are signs of frustration in several players' body language, and the home fans are growing restless.

Slot's subs are now ready to be introduced, and it's a triple change for Liverpool. First, Diogo Jota makes way for Darwin Nunez.

After Alisson's clearance falls short, leaving the Brazilian out of position outside his area, Nottingham Forest can't quite engineer a quick shot to take advantage. Eventually, Gibbs-White tries his luck with a curler but sends it spiralling high over the crossbar.

Robertson is caught flat-footed on the edge of Forest's area, and Gravenberch also slightly overhits his pass. Otherwise, the full-back would have been clean through for a shot at goal. It looks like Liverpool are readying some substitutes.

Another glimmer of hope for Forest: Wood is sent through into the area and beats Konate, but Alisson makes a low save to deny him. The flag went up in any case, but perhaps the visitors can beat Liverpool's offside trap next time.
