For Liverpool and Mohamed Salah, it was an unforgettable afternoon against Nottingham Forest.
The Egyptian star played the full 90 minutes in the Reds’ 1-0 defeat at the City Ground as former Red Taiwo Aloniyi scored decisive goals for the hostsThey will be lifted off the bottom of Premier League.
For Salah, it was certainly a day that didn’t go to plan as he struggled to get to grips with the game.
Liverpool led play and held 76% of the possession. The Egyptian however only completed FOUR successful passes.
Salah also had a chance to get Jurgen Klopp’s side on the scoreboard when he found himself unmarked at the back post from a James Milner free-kick, only to completely miss the ball as he attempted to volley in.
With that miss coming after Virgil van Dijk missed a header from mere yards out, it was simply a day that didn’t go Liverpool’s way.
The Reds were punished ten minutes into the second-half when former Merseysider Awoniyi fired home, much to the enjoyment of Steve Cooper’s side who will take real confidence from claiming such a notable scalp.
Liverpool will focus on winning when they travel to Ajax in Wednesday’s Champions League.
