The home team threatened several times and even had more shots on goal in the first half. Ten minutes after the change of sides, the favorites were caught by surprise when, after a direct kick, he got to the end of Awoniyi in the penalty area and sent the ball into the net. It could have been 2-0 in a moment, but Morgan Gibbs-White’s shot was blocked at the last moment by one of the defenders. The guests made a substitution, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jordan Henderson and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain came to the field, but it did not help their offensive much. They couldn’t create more pressure or many scoring chances. The big one came in the 84th minute, but goalkeeper Dean Henderson handled Alexander-Arnold’s header. The decision could have come immediately, but Alisson also showed his qualities when finishing Ryan Yates. In the 90th minute, Virgil van Dijk missed a great chance after a direct kick, and the Dutch stopper did not save his team even two minutes later, when the hero of the match, Henderson, brilliantly headed his header into the corner. “I think I played a really good game. We had a plan to be compact and try to score a goal and I’m very happy we won,” former Liverpool youth player Awoniyi said after the game: “Liverpool brought me to professional football, they signed me , when I was eighteen, so today was a very emotional match for me.” Liverpool did not win even the fifth game away from home this season in the Premier League and won only two points on opponents’ pitches. In total, he has four wins, draws and three losses and is already eleven points behind first-placed Arsenal, who have Sunday’s clash in Southampton to spare. “I can explain the performance, but not the result. We had chances and we should have converted them. The goal we got was after our big mistake. We should have won, but we didn’t, so kudos to Nottingham,” said coach Jürgen Klopp. Premier League – Round 13: Nottingham Forest – FC Liverpool 1:0 (0:0) Goal: 55. Awoniyi
