Liverpool succumbed to their joint-heaviest home defeat in Premier League history as Nottingham Forest embarrassed the reigning champions to pile more misery on Arne Slot.

The Reds dominated the first half-hour of the clash but were punished for not taking advantage of their pressure, with a set-piece once again proving their downfall as Murillo fired the visitors in front on 33 minutes.

Things then went bad to worse for the hosts just 39 seconds into the second half as Nicolo Savona blasted into the top corner to double Forest's advantage.

The game was put beyond doubt when Morgan Gibbs-White made it three for Sean Dyche's side, who having dealt Slot's first ever defeat last season put increased scrutiny on the Dutchman, now lumbered with seven defeats in his last eight on English soil.

Yates speaks to Sky

Forest captain Ryan Yates had this to say to Sky:

"The lads were incredible. We thoroughly deserved the win and the dressing room is quite lively. We're enjoying it.

On Liverpool: "They're still a team full of a lot of quality and we knew that. When you come to Anfield, you have to weather the storm. We scored, knocked their confidence and never let them recover.

On Sean Dyche: "He's been huge, him and his staff. They came in, embraced everything about the club. Brought that togetherness with the team and the fans, that's massive at Forest. We don't want to get ahead of ourselves but it's been a great start.

"We've got the quality but we need to back that up and work harder for each other every game. We've made good progress over the last few weeks, so let's stay positive.

"It's a big psychological boost getting out of the relegation zone but it's harder staying out of it and that is what this club demands,” he added.
