Nottingham Forest delivered a stunning 3-0 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield, marking a new low for the reigning champions’ title defense and pushing Forest out of the relegation zone with a historic win.
According to a report from The Analyst, Liverpool suffered a devastating 0–3 home defeat to Nottingham Forest at Anfield, marking a fresh low in their faltering title defence.
The Opta-driven analysis paints Forest’s performance as ruthless and composed, while Liverpool’s defending was exposed at every turn.
Forest, guided by Sean Dyche, earned high praise for their pressing intensity and efficient transitions, capitalising on Liverpool’s defensive lapses.
The report notes that every time Forest regained possession, they looked dangerous — and they punished their hosts, with three well-taken goals.
Despite dominating possession (74.8% according to ESPN data), Liverpool created far fewer clear-cut chances than expected. The analysis highlights that Forest limited Liverpool to just four shots on target, while putting pressure on Alisson’s goal throughout.
Meanwhile, the report underscores the deeper issue for Liverpool: this defeat is another in a worrying pattern of poor defensive performances, raising serious questions about Arne Slot’s ability to steady the ship.
Forest, on the other hand, are gaining real momentum, with their Opta data backing up the idea that their revival at Anfield was no fluke.
