In the fourth round of the English Premier League, Liverpool unexpectedly succumbed to Nottingham Forest at home.
Throughout the full 90 minutes, the hosts failed to unlock their opponents' defense, while the "Forest" took advantage of one of their few chances. Callum Hudson-Odoi, a Chelsea academy graduate, confidently finished a swift counter-attack in the 72nd minute.
In the remaining 20 minutes, the "Reds" desperately sought to salvage the match but were unable to breach the goal of the visiting side. Notably, Liverpool had not lost at Anfield since April, when they fell to Crystal Palace in the 33rd round of the previous season’s Premier League. Remarkably, it was their second consecutive home defeat after a loss to Atalanta in the Europa League.
Additionally, Liverpool is set to commence their campaign in the revamped UEFA Champions League on Tuesday. The Merseysiders will face AC Milan in Italy in their opening fixture.
