Jamie Carragher hailed Liverpool’s last-gasp 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest as “one of the biggest robberies” of the Premier League season.

Mac Allister had thought he’d won the game just minutes earlier when Ola Aina’s clearance cannoned in off the Argentine after Stefan Ortega had brilliantly kept out Hugo Ekitike’s header.

The ball was adjudged to have gone in off Mac Allister’s elbow, constituting handball, and the strike was scratched off.

However, the former Brighton midfielder was at it again, scrambling home amid the madness in the six-yard box to rifle home Virgil van Dijk’s knockdown from Dominik Szoboszlai’s cross.

In the Sky Sports studio afterwards, former Liverpool legend Carragher slammed Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo’s performances.

"That's one of the biggest robberies I've seen in the Premier League this season.” Carragher said.

"[Substitute Rio] Ngumoha did more in 15 minutes than Salah and Gakpo did before that. He changed the game and needs to be starting games.

"There's no-one better in getting last-minute winners in the Premier League - and that is Liverpool."

The result puts the Reds firmly back into Champions League contention, moving them level on points with fourth and fifth-placed Chelsea and Manchester United.

They had lost Florian Wirtz in the warm-up to injury, with the summer signing replaced in the starting XI by Curtis Jones.
