Van Dijk’s header at the Etihad Stadium was chalked off after a combination of the assistant referee and VAR determined Andy Robertson to be interfering with Gianluigi Donnarumma’s attempts to keep the ball out. Had the goal stood, Liverpool would have drawn level at 1–1, but they went on to suffer a devastating 3–0 loss.

Liverpool fell to a sixth Premier League loss on Saturday afternoon as they were defeated 3-0 by Nottingham Forest at Anfield. The visitors took the lead when Murillo produced an excellent touch and finish from Elliot Anderson 's corner, with the officials deeming that Alisson's view wasn't restricted by the position of Dan Ndoye.

After having waited 55 years for a win at Anfield, Forest have now between Arne Slot’s Liverpool twice on home turf. The Reds’ crisis is now a grave concern

Liverpool's crumbling defence of their Premier League crown continued with a 3-0 home drubbing at home to Nottingham Forest on Saturday that left Arne Slot's misfiring side 11th in the table. Goals by Murillo,

Two contentious first half refereeing decisions made headlines at Anfield on Saturday. The VAR first saw no reason to chalk off Murillo's opener, despite Liverpool's players protesting an offside player interfered with Alisson's line of sight.

Nottingham Forest stunned champions Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday, claiming a 3-0 Premier League thrashing that dented the Reds' title ambitions in Forest's first back-to-back league wins at Liverpool's iconic ground in 62 years.

Alisson's return would be a welcome boost for Slot as he looks to turn Liverpool's season around after a poor run of form. The defending Premier League champions sit eighth in the table and are already eight points off the pace set by Arsenal.

The real battle happened in the middle of the box where Forest and Liverpool set up in a 4v4 situation with Liverpool's four consisting of Cody Gakpo, Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai and Mohamed Salah. Early in the routine, Salah gestured to Mac Allister asking the Argentine to pick up one of Forest's most dangerous players, Murillo.

Liverpool conceded a goal against Nottingham Forest that was similar to the one that was denied by VAR for them vs. Manchester City. But why?

Liverpool's Premier League title defense is surely over now after Arne Slot's side suffered its sixth loss in seven games on Saturday, 3-0 to Nottingham Forest at Anfield.
