Liverpool suffered an unexpected defeat against Nottingham Forest at Anfield.

The Arne Slot era was off to a perfect start when the Reds started the season with three wins in three games, without conceding a goal.

They started the season with wins against Ipswich, Brentford and Manchester United.

With the Merseyside club heavy favourites to win at Anfield against Forest, Callum Hudson-Odoi’s 72nd minute winner came as a huge surprise and stunned the Reds.

It was the first goal conceded by Alisson for Liverpool this season, upsetting the Brazilian goalkeeper.

After the defeat, the goalkeeper blamed some of his teammates for their poor performance.

“We didn’t manage to play better – when we made the subs – with the ball,” said Alisson, as quoted by Sky Sports.

“We didn’t create so many clear chances. Because they defended really well but also a little bit of poor football from our side today.

“We didn’t adapt quick enough. We conceded three counter-attacks before we conceded a goal on a counter-attack. We should defend it better in those situations.

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson was unable to stop Callum Hudson-Odoi’s winning strike.

“Hudson-Odoi had too much freedom to do whatever he wanted with the ball, dribbling inside and shooting. It was poor defending from us.”

The defeat is a reality check for the new Liverpool manager that any team in the Premier League can beat any other side.

It does not matter if you have beaten your biggest rivals 3-0 in their own backyard in the previous match, even relegation threatened sides can surprise you with their performances.

It was Forest’s first win at Anfield since 1969 which shows the remarkable job done by Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo.
