Liverpool's flawless start under manager Arne Slot came to a shocking halt as Nottingham Forest earned a 1-0 victory in Saturdays Premier League encounter at Anfield. Meanwhile, Erling Haaland's double lifted Manchester City to a 2-1 win over Brentford, propelling them three points clear at the top of the Premier League.
Forest had not won at Anfield in the top division for 55 years, but Callum Hudson-Odoi's goal 18 minutes from time silenced the home crowd, handing the visitors a historic victory.
Liverpool had won all three of their previous Premier League matches under Slot without conceding a goal, including a dominant 3-0 win over Manchester United two weeks ago. However, they appeared lacklustre and disjointed after the international break.
Forest's victory lifts them to fifth in the table, with eight points from their first four matches.
