A dreadful game for Liverpool, a dream moment for Nottingham Forest

With some variations but Nottingham Forest and Liverpool revived one of the oldest classics of football in England, being the City Ground stadium witness of how the Tricky Trees showed their rival throughout the 90 minutes of play, raising the unbridled madness of the fans who were in the stands once the final whistle signalled the 1-0 victory over the institution of Merseyside.

No wonder the Forest fans were celebrating, because after a long time without being able to face one of their great rivals, their reunion with an authoritative victory was the ideal scenario that they imagined as the date of the match approached. Every fan and player will see those three points against Liverpool differently, but one thing they all agreed on was that what they did in those 90 minutes was pure history that will live on for a long time to come.

The Tricky Trees' dominance, the adrenaline of avoiding a stoppage time equaliser, and the equivocal chants and celebrations were the ingredients necessary for this match to be remembered for years to come, or so former British-born Jamaican footballer Robbie Earle believes, and he said the game will be talked about even in 10 years' time. "They'll be talking about this game in 10 years' time, about the home win over Liverpool.

The team deep in the basement was finally able to see the light against an unrecognisable Liverpool side that had been surprising for a few weeks with a string of good results in both the Premier League and Champions League, and it was painful for Jürgen Klopp not only the result but also the way his team played football, being outplayed at all times by one of the smallest squads in the English top flight.

<strong>For Forest it was historic to beat Liverpool</strong>

The realities within each institution are very different after this match, because while Nottingham fans see as historic their return to the Premier League by beating Liverpool even though they are second last in the standings, at Anfield this cannot be allowed even with a squad depleted by injuries and lacking an idea of how to play football, making this defeat even more chaotic than if it had been against City a few days ago.
