Liverpool manager Arne Slot experienced his first setback in charge of the team as they succumbed to a 0-1 defeat against Nottingham Forest at Anfield. The loss ended Liverpool's unbeaten run under Slot's leadership, which had seen them secure three consecutive victories without conceding a goal since taking over from Jurgen Klopp in the summer.

Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, celebrated a historic victory, claiming their first win at Anfield since February 1969. The decisive goal came from the talented Callum Hudson-Odoi, who found the back of the net to secure a memorable triumph for Forest.

Despite their defeat, Liverpool had several opportunities to get on the scoresheet. Their best chance came through Luis Diaz, whose strike ricocheted off the post, leaving the home fans frustrated as Forest managed to break up play effectively. Manager Arne Slot later attributed the loss to his team's numerous errors and emphasized the disappointment of losing to a team that is not typically expected to challenge for a top-10 position.

The frustration among the Anfield faithful was evident as many supporters left the stadium before the final whistle. BBC pundit and former Celtic striker Chris Sutton declared that Arne Slot's honeymoon period as Liverpool manager was now over, highlighting the need for significant work ahead.

In his post-match conference, Slot acknowledged Forest's approach, stating that they employed many long balls to bypass Liverpool's pressing. While Liverpool enjoyed a majority of possession, they were unable to convert it into enough clear-cut chances. Slot expressed disappointment in the individual performances and their failure to meet his expected standards of ball possession.

Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo was lauded by pundits for his tactical masterclass as he introduced pacey duo Callum Hudson-Odoi and Anthony Elanga in the second half, with the former scoring the decisive goal. Notably, Forest showcased exceptional defensive solidity, thwarting Liverpool's attempts to penetrate their box.

Former England captain Alan Shearer commended Nottingham Forest's team effort, highlighting their outstanding defensive display and the clinical finish from Hudson-Odoi. He emphasized that Forest's impressive start to the season was no fluke, having now won two and drawn two of their opening four games.

Following this defeat, Liverpool now turn their attention to the Champions League, as they face AC Milan in their first league phase game on Tuesday. Arne Slot may consider making changes to his starting lineup after naming the same side for the past three matches.

Meanwhile, Forest manager Nuno expressed his pride and happiness at the team's victory, acknowledging the immense effort put in by the players. He mentioned the long wait for Forest fans to celebrate a victory in Liverpool and encouraged them to savor this momentous triumph.

As Liverpool regroups and looks to bounce back from this setback, the defeat serves as a wake-up call for Arne Slot and his team, highlighting the challenges they must overcome to achieve success in the upcoming matches.
