LIVERPOOL PLAYER RATINGS: Ibrahima Konate shines at Nottingham Forest
Darwin Nunez struck deep into injury-time to rescue Liverpool three points in a 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest.
The Reds went into the match well aware that a win would help guide them in the right direction at the top of the Premier League table.
They were left frustrated by a resilient Forest side who will feel they should have scored on a number of occasions.
But Nunez, on his return from injury, nodded the ball home with a matter of seconds remaining to earn Liverpool injury-ridden side all three points.
Mail Sport's Lewis Steele gives his verdict on Liverpool players in his match ratings.
LIVERPOOL (4-3-3)
Caoimhin Kelleher - 7
BAILED his team out several times at Wembley last Sunday in the Carabao Cup final and made an equally-big save to deny Anthony Elanga in the first half here - though it might have been offside if VAR had a look. Got down well to deny Callum Hudson-Odoi late on.
Conor Bradley - 6
Offesuch energy and verve down Liverpool’s right-hand side. The Northern Irishman played several decent crosses and cutbacks in the first half but his team-mates did not get on the end of them.
Ibrahima Konate - 7.5
Enjoyed his battle with former Liverpool striker Divock Origi in the first half. Vital moment in the second half when he outsprinted Taiwo Awoniyi to a loose ball. Commanding performance from the Frenchman.
Virgil van Dijk - 7
CALMING display, including a cool header back to Kelleher in the first half. As game ticked on the captain showed great leadership and good passing from the back as Liverpool went in search of a goal.
Andy Robertson - 7 (BOOKED)
HAD a decent game down Liverpool’s left and put in some good crosses. Bad tackle on former Liverpool man Neco Williams was his last contribution before being subbed off.
