  • After an 89th-minute VAR controversy, Liverpool clinched a 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest on Sunday as Alexis Mac Allister scored in the seventh minute of stoppage time after Virgil van Dijk's header was spilled by Stefan Ortega.

  • On their ninth league visit to the City Ground, Liverpool won only once before Sunday, fitting a pattern of late, narrow victories often after subpar performances.
