The hosts are having a stunning season and still in the title race after holding the leaders despite a second half onslaught.

Diogo Jota scored less than 30 seconds after coming on in the second half to cancel out Chris Wood's early opener

Diogo Jota came off the bench to score with his first touch to earn Liverpool a 1-1 draw away to Nottingham Forest as the home side moved into second spot.

Nottingham Forest can cut the gap at the top of the Premier League table to just three points when they host leaders Liverpool. Nuno Espirito Santo's side won at Anfield earlier in the season.

Liverpool's maintained their Premier League title hopes when they came from behind to earn a well-deserved point at Nottingham Forest on Tuesday evening. Substitute Diogo Jota scored with his first touch to equalise Chris Wood's early opener as the Reds fought out a 1-1 draw at the City Ground.

Overall, a 1-1 draw keeps Liverpool’s six-point cushion ahead of Forest intact, even if their head coach Arne Slot will have reservations, as he did when his team lost the reverse fixture at Anfield 1-0 four months ago, despite an excellent second half.
