On Tuesday, January 14, Nottingham hosted Liverpool at home as part of the 21st round of the Premier League.
The Foresters immediately stunned the visitors with a quick goal. Anthony Elanga cut through the entire Liverpool defense with one pass, and Chris Wood confidently opened the scoring.
After this, the guests completely took control of the game, but they could not do anything to Nottingham’s compact defense; the teams went into the break with Nottingham’s minimal advantage.
In the second half, the siege continued, but Liverpool were still not going well in the final third of the field until Tsimikas and Jota appeared on the field.
The first one took the corner, the second one headed it in - 1:1. In the rest of the time, the Portuguese striker had several more excellent chances to win the team three points, but the Nottingham keeper took all the blows.
