However, it was Forest who took the lead against the run of play, with the Liverpool defense struggling to clear a corner kick. Amidst the chaos, Murillo remained composed and scored a goal by arrowing the ball into the corner.

Igor Jesus thought he had doubled the visitors' lead when he volleyed a shot into the corner, but his goal was disallowed due to a handling infraction.

Nottingham Forest's victory marked a significant milestone in their season, as they secured their second win over Liverpool at Anfield in as many years.
