Liverpool and Nottingham Forest shared the points in a 2-2 draw at Anfield, with the visitors twice taking the lead only to be pegged back. Forest were the more dangerous side in front of goal, creating five big chances to Liverpool's one, but the hosts' persistence earned them a late equaliser.
Dan Ndoye put Forest ahead in the 24th minute from Morgan Gibbs-White's assist. Alexander Isak levelled for Liverpool on the hour, converting Cody Gakpo's pass, but Gibbs-White restored Forest's lead in the 70th minute. Victor Munoz then rescued a point for Liverpool in the 82nd minute, finishing from Florian Wirtz's delivery.
The statistics highlight an odd contest: Liverpool had 70% possession and 544 accurate passes to Forest's 187, yet Forest registered a higher expected goals figure of 2.43 to 1.61. Forest wasted three big chances, while Liverpool took the one they created, and the draw reflected how closely matched the sides were in open play.
