Sels tipped over from Wirtz’s header following a fine cross by Gakpo, potentially playing his final Liverpool game depending on their incomings over the next few days. But the hosts were indebted to Alisson for denying Forest a second goal on the stroke of half-time. Aina flew past Muñoz on the right before picking out Igor Jesus near the penalty spot. His first time effort flew towards the top corner but Alisson produced a superb save to turn the shot on to the crossbar.
