In the 99th minute of a tense match, Liverpool scored a dramatic winner against Nottingham Forest, thanks to a header by Darwin Nunez. The goal sparked wild celebrations among the players, staff, and supporters. This victory ensured that Liverpool would remain top of the table before their crunch showdown with Manchester City.
The game had seemed to be heading for a stalemate, with both teams looking tired and out of ideas. However, a corner taken by Dominik Szoboszlai was blocked, and the ball fell to Alexis Mac Allister, who coolly turned onto his left foot and clipped an inviting cross towards Darwin Nunez. Nunez sent a glancing header past Matz Sels to spark wild celebrations.
Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk said that the team never gives up and has shown that they can find a way to win. This victory was the 18th time in the top flight that Liverpool had scored a winner in the 90th minute or later during Klopp's reign, more than any other team over that period.
The goal was met with joyous chaos, with players and staff celebrating with Nunez. The Liverpool captain grabbed a camera phone from a member of the media department and filmed the celebrations himself. There were angry protests from Forest after the final whistle, but Van Dijk pointed out that a similar incident had occurred earlier in the game when the same thing happened.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was relatively reserved in his celebrations, but he embraced his backroom staff and wrapped his arms around Nunez. He highlighted the folly of rival supporters who continue to chant, “You’re just a s*** Andy Carroll” in the direction of Nunez, who has 28 goals in 79 appearances, including five winners this season.
For the 2,900 away supporters, the scenes sparked by Nunez’s winner were already being talked about as one of the all-time great celebrations. The goal was described as a dramatic victory that ensured Liverpool would remain top of the table.
