Anfield witnessed a shocking result as Nottingham Forest defeated Liverpool 3-0, securing their first back-to-back wins at Anfield in 62 years. The victory, on November 22, 2025, marked a significant upset for the reigning champions and heaped further pressure on Liverpool's manager, Arne Slot.
Liverpool, who have had a largely disappointing season thus far, sit in eighth place in the league. They came into the match looking to bounce back from a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Manchester City. In contrast, Nottingham Forest, struggling in 19th place, gained a crucial victory, easing their relegation concerns.
The match began with Liverpool dominating the first half-hour, but they failed to capitalize on their pressure. Forest's Murillo opened the scoring in the 33rd minute with a goal from a set-piece. Just 39 seconds into the second half, Nicolo Savona doubled Forest's advantage with a strike into the top corner. Morgan Gibbs-White sealed the victory for Nottingham Forest, putting the game beyond Liverpool's reach. This defeat marks one of Liverpool's heaviest home defeats in Premier League history. Moreover, Forest were also the only team to beat Liverpool at Anfield during their title-winning campaign last season.
Historically, Liverpool has had a strong record against Nottingham Forest, with 60 wins in 122 matches compared to Forest's 32. However, Forest's recent performance defied these statistics, adding another layer of disappointment to Liverpool's season.
