Liverpool maintained their pursuit of the Premier League title with a determined 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest on Tuesday evening. Substitute Diogo Jota made an immediate impact, scoring with his first touch to cancel out Chris Wood’s early goal, securing a valuable point for the Reds at the City Ground.

This result keeps Liverpool six points ahead of Forest, who have climbed to second place. Notably, Arne Slot’s side has a game in hand, and with both Chelsea and Manchester City dropping points on the same night, Liverpool’s position remains strong.

Player Ratings:

•Alisson Becker – 6: Conceded Wood’s opener from a well-placed shot. Made routine saves and remained vigilant against an Anthony Elanga free-kick in the second half.

•Trent Alexander-Arnold – 6: Delivered several aimless crosses in the first half but improved offensively after the break. Defensively solid, though tested by Elanga.

•Ibrahima Konaté – 5: Struggled with possession and dealing with bouncing balls. Substituted in the second half.

•Virgil van Dijk – 7: Kept Wood onside for the opener and showed frustration at the lack of movement ahead. Improved in the second half with solid defensive coverage.

•Andy Robertson – 6: Active in the early stages and recovered well after a defensive lapse. Substituted in the second half.

•Ryan Gravenberch – 7: Lost track of Elanga for the opener and missed opportunities in the first half. Shifted to center-back after Konaté’s substitution and performed admirably.

•Alexis Mac Allister – 6: Showed early promise but faded at times. Became more influential in the second half despite frustrations with officiating.

•Mohamed Salah – 7: Consistently troubled Forest’s defense, creating chances for Jota and appealing for a penalty. Will be disappointed not to have scored.

•Dominik Szoboszlai – 8: Quiet in the opening stages but became a key figure as the game progressed. Created chances and was denied a goal by Forest’s goalkeeper, Matz Sels.

•Cody Gakpo – 6: Worked hard and had efforts on goal but lacked precision in his final crosses. Drew a strong save from Sels.

•Luis Díaz – 5: Dropped into good positions but lacked a decisive final ball. Substituted after an underwhelming performance.

Substitutes:

•Diogo Jota (for Konaté, 66’) – 8: Scored a fantastic equalizer with his first touch and nearly added another. Provided a significant impact as the central striker.

•Kostas Tsimikas (for Robertson, 66’) – 7: Delivered the assist for Jota’s goal and showed strength in defense.

•Curtis Jones (for Díaz, 75’) – 6: Maintained pressure as Liverpool pushed for a winner.

Liverpool remains in a strong position but will need to enhance their performance to sustain their title challenge.
