Big party for Evangelos Marinakis: a former Juventus man also makes him happy

Liverpool needed a win at Anfield to climb up the standings and at least get closer to the Europe zone. Instead, against Nottingham Forest, came another knockout in a season so far to forget.

In contrast, it was a festive evening for the hosts and their owner, Greek Evagelos Marinakis, who was able to celebrate his team’s second success in a row after the one won against Leeds.

The Reds were beaten 3-0 in front of their home crowd in a match that had little history. Forest needed only 33 minutes to unlock the result through Murillo, and in the 35th minute former Botafogo Igor Jesus could have doubled if the Brazilian’s goal had not been annulled for a disputed hand touch.

Arne Slot’s team never gave the feeling that it could fight back. In the second half it collapsed completely: former Juventus player Savona found the double after a few seconds, and in the 78th minute Gibb-White sealed the game with the 0-3 final goal. For Federico Chiesa just over 20 minutes.
